convert: make apply_filter() adhere to standard Git error handling

apply_filter() returns a boolean that tells the caller if it
"did convert or did not convert". The variable `ret` was used throughout
the function to track errors whereas `1` denoted success and `0`
failure. This is unusual for the Git source where `0` denotes success.

Rename the variable and flip its value to make the function easier
readable for Git developers.
