At the moment I'm using an extended _test_ case that starts by adding
a ~5.1Gb file and then using verify-pack, which aborts with an error.

         dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1M count=5100 &&
         git config core.compression 0 &&
         git config core.looseCompression 0 &&
         git add file &&
         git verify-pack -s .git/objects/pack/*.pack &&
         git fsck --verbose --strict --full &&
         ...

If however I simple execute the commands from the GfW bash, the added
file is stored as a blob object, rather than a pack.

I'm at a loss to understand the reason for the change in behaviour
[store file as pack, vs store as object] between running the code as a
test script and at the terminal. What am I missing?
To which test are you adding the above piece?  Perhaps one of those
that configures core.bigfilethreashold?
The test script (t-large-files-on-winows.sh: [1] below) was specific to this debugging.

I didn't set core.bigfilethreshold - Is that done (or unset) by the test setup at all?

It does prompt me to check that all the bigfilethreshold checks are actually size_t, rather than a simple 'long'/uInt which would only be 32bits on Windows and potentially a downcast comparison, resulting in mistaken bigfile actions because of the modulo 2^32 action.

So when I run the test script [1] on Windows I get my error from verify-pack, and the trash directory contains a single pack file. I tried doing the commands singly on a fresh repo, but that time found that the add/verify produced a blob object (rather than a pack with one object), so it got me wondering if I was testing like for like.

When I tried using gdb at the add stage, with a break point, I got a back trace [2], and when run to completion it had the loose object, so I was confused. (my fixup code is at [3])

Does the test_expect_success clear all the local/user config variable to sandbox the tests?
