DCO is not something you "agree to".

Are you the original author of the patch, and have the right to submit it
under the license "indicated in the file"?

The overall license of git is GPLv2, and that is what applies to unless
there is an explicit license term indicated in the file otherwise. We do
have some code under different licenses in some parts of the system, but
the files that you are touching are all GPLv2.

Can you certify that your patch is yours and you have rights to make it
part of git under the same terms as the original?  Or can you not?  There
is nothing for you to "agree to"; just a simple "yes or no", and I hope
the answer is yes in this case, judging from your gnu.org address.

Nah, one blob that is over 2gb, deltified against something else?  That's
a bit too much for a test script.
