"size" is handed over to a "git_zstream" and goes through zlib.c,
eventually ending up in zlib, which is outside Git's control, and which
seems to work with "uLong"s. How do these kind of changes interact with
zlib? For example, I wonder about this line further down in get_data:
if (stream.total_out == size && ret == Z_STREAM_END)
If total_out isn't converted, I guess this would never hit if "size" is
too large. And if total_out /is/ converted, I guess we'd risk truncation
in zlib_pre_call in zlib.c. Maybe that might cause Git and zlib to have
different ideas about how much data is available and/or should be
processed. Maybe we could then hit things like this in git.c:
if (s->z.total_out != s->total_out + bytes_produced)
die("BUG: total_out mismatch");
I am not very familiar with zlib, so apologies if this is just noise...
