Also, as you can see at one of the GitHub CI jobs, e.g., https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/9455916669/job/26046731619#step:6:1915 you'd need to either exclude some "these are too large timestamps for the system" tests from 32-bit systems or expect output on them to be different from 64-bit systems. As you are actively detecting the condition and giving an error message "too large for _this_ system", I think it is a good idea to actually do the latter, i.e. on 64-bit system make sure parsing is done correctly, and on 32-bit system make sure you get that "too large for this system" error. Thanks.
