OK ... I'm a bit confused now because I no longer have Git listed as 
a repository type for Team Sharing.

I deleted the existing org.spearce.* eclipse plugins

   [eclipse]$ rm -f plugins/org.spearce.*

pulled from git://repo.or.cz/egit.git

created a new branch for this test and applied your patch

       Better fix for 'negative position' error on large pack files

       If position is really big and the window size is fairly small, id can
       be negative.  Instead of producing a negative position by extending
       id to a long, mask out the low bits from the original position value
       to compute the window start.

       [sp: message by me, as I had already applied v1 of the patch
            and pushed it (see immediate parent)]

   ...

Opened Eclipse and switched to the egit workspace. Refreshed the egit 
projects and exported the org.spearce.* packages as deployable 
plugins and fragments to the Eclipse dir.

The new plugins are there:

   [eclipse]$ ls plugins/org.spearce.*
   plugins/org.spearce.egit.core.test_0.4.0.200903112237.jar
   plugins/org.spearce.egit_0.4.0.200903112237.jar
   plugins/org.spearce.egit.core_0.4.0.200903112237.jar
   plugins/org.spearce.jgit_0.4.0.200903112237.jar
   plugins/org.spearce.egit.ui_0.4.0.200903112237.jar

Quit and restarted Eclipse.

When I select a project with an existing git repository and try to 
enable team/sharing only CVS and SVN are listed.
