The reason to make it understand negative values or more specifically "unspecified" values is to give the ability to differentiate whether `--option` or `--no-option` was specified at all.
Many uses of COUNTUP have now been replaced with BOOL and what remains are verbose/quiet/force. This change will not affect existing users of COUNTUP at all, as long as they use the initial value of 0 (or more), as there is no mechanism to decrement. The only thing the command line can do is to reset it to zero with "--no-foo". Verbose or quiet don't use negative values before this commit but force uses it in a different way to handle its config and then munges the "-1" into 0 before we get to parse_options. There are uses of COUNTUP in cmd_hash_object() and test-parse-options.c and they are both fine.
