We cannot allow a window to be smaller than 2 system pages. This limitation is necessary to support the feature of use_pack() where we always supply at least 20 bytes after the offset to help the object header and delta base parsing routines. If packedGitWindowSize were allowed to be as small as 1 system page then we would be completely unable to access an object header which spanned over a page as we would never be able to arrange a mapping such that the header was contiguous in virtual memory.
