Git archive doesn't fully support zip64

Dear git,

git archive, when writing a zip file, has a silent 4GB file size limit (on the inputs as well as the output), as it doesn’t fully support zip64.

Although a zip archive written by git which is larger than 4GB can be often still be unzipped, it won’t be fully useable and some tools (e.g. zipdetails) can’t read it at all.

I suggest either git should be changed to fully support zip64 or it should give a proper error when either an input or the output is too large.

Thanks,

K.
