Well, there are actually two problems here.  The first is that
crashreporter crashed trying to create the crash report of
the git failure.  The second was the error in git itself.
Hope that helps.

I am submitting an Apple bugreport on the first and
Nicolas Pitre is probably correct in his fix.  When I
was looking at index-pack.c everything was using 32
bit unsigned and signed number where off_t was
64-bit which is what a stat() would return.  My problem
is that I was not familiar enough with git internals to
figure out the solution.  My review was the first time
that I ever looked at git source.

Thanks, Nicolas
