Here, we declare the `size` parameter as a pointer to a `size_t`.

But here, we are once more bitten by Git's usage of last century's data types: the `size` variable is of type `unsigned long`.

Now, you are probably developing this patch on 64-bit Linux or macOS, where it just so happens that `size_t` is idempotent to `unsigned long`.

But that is not the case on 32-bit Linux nor on Windows, and therefore the build fails with this patch. I need this to get the build to pass:

Subject: [PATCH] fixup??? cat-file: add mailmap support

This is needed whenever `unsigned long` is different from `size_t`, e.g. on 32-bit Linux and on Windows.
