Hello,

I have a large repository which is more than 30GB, when I clone it with git-for-windows (tried 2.47.1 and some old versions), it prompted me with "fatal: pack has bad object at offset xxxxx: inflate returned 1", usually died at "receiving objects" stage at about 4GiB.

Looks like it's same issue in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2179 ; Seems like it's a "long" versus "size_t" problem and should be fixed long ago, but why it's still there? I was using 64bit git and 64bit windows server;
