I have a puzzle for a long time that why a negative int32 must be encoded into 10 bytes instead of 5, 5 bytes of encoded var int has enough bits(5*7=35) to represent a 32 bit value, and packet decoder know it's a int32 so it extract 32 bits outof 5 bytes to restore the int32 precisely, even if it's negtive.So why must protobuf encode negative int32 to 10 bytes? Thank you.
