[PATCH] Fix errno usage in connect.c

[Petr Baudis <pasky@xxxxxxx>]

Dear diary, on Wed, Jun 28, 2006 at 06:56:12PM CEST, I got a letter
where Morten Welinder <mwelinder@xxxxxxxxx> said that...
> It looks like connect.c waits too long before it uses errno in both copies
> of git_tcp_connect_sock.  Both close and freeaddrinfo can poke any
> non-zero value in there.

Nice catch.

->8-

errno was used after it could've been modified by a subsequent library call.
Spotted by Morten Welinder.
