Breaking change with "git log -n" since 2.43

Hi all,

I would like to report a breaking change with "git log -n" introduced
in 2.43 that's causing some trouble:
https://github.com/git/git/commit/71a1e94821666909b7b2bd62a36244c601f8430e#diff-380c4eac267b5af349ace88c78a2b004a16ed20c2b605c76827981063924bbf9R2222

To reproduce, the command `git log -n 9007199254740991` fails on
2.43.2, whereas it didn't on 2.42.0. This specific number corresponds
to the Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER (2^53 - 1) in JavaScript (docs:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number/MAX_SAFE_INTEGER).
The max value that is supported now is a signed 32-bit integer (2^31 -
1).

I suppose git simply ignored the extra digits of the number, as the
commit message describes.

See https://github.com/intuit/auto/issues/2425#issuecomment-1956557071
for the impact.

Best regards,

Maarten Ackermans
