The code handling %(upstream:track) and %(upstream:trackshort)
assumed that it always had a valid branch that had been sanitized
earlier in populate_value(), and thus did not check the return value
of the call to stat_tracking_info().
While there is indeed some sanitization code that basically
corresponds to stat_tracking_info() returning 0 (no base branch
set), the function can also return -1 when the base branch did exist
but has since then been deleted.
In this case, num_ours and num_theirs had undefined values and a
call to `git for-each-ref --format="%(upstream:track)"` could print
spurious values such as
[behind -
111794512]
[ahead
38881640, behind
5103867]
even for repositories with one single commit.
Verify stat_tracking_info()'s return value and do not print anything
if it returns -1. This behavior also matches the documentation ("has
no effect if the ref does not have tracking information associated
with it").
