From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> If the input to strtoimax() or strtoumax() does not contain any digits then they return zero and set `end` to point to the start of the input string. git_parse_[un]signed() do not check `end` and so fail to return an error and instead return a value of zero if the input string is a valid units factor without any digits (e.g "k").
