commit-graph tests: fix unportable "dd" invocation
Change an unportable invocation of "dd" with count=0, that wanted to truncate the commit-graph file. In POSIX it is unspecified what happens when count=0 is provided[1]. The NetBSD "dd" behavior differs from GNU (and seemingly other BSDs), which has left this test broken since d2b86fba ("commit-graph: fix buffer read-overflow", 2019-01-15). Copying from /dev/null would seek/truncate to seek=$zero_pos and stop immediately after that (without being able to copy anything), which is the right way to truncate the file. 1. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/dd.html Signed-off-by:Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Helped-by:
