I have a feeling this is going in then wrong direction.  Shouldn't
we rather use size_t everywhere?  malloc() takes a size_t, and it's
the basis of strbuf and also of the file content functions.

The following patch is shorter, though it adds one more line than
your's.  The result is slightly uglier, but it's a good reminder to
use size_t in more places.

That said, I realize that converting read_sha1_file() et al. would
be quite painful.  Maybe too painful?
