t5004: test ZIP archives with many entries
A ZIP file directory has a 16-bit field for the number of entries it
contains. There are 64-bit extensions to deal with that. Demonstrate
that git archive --format=zip currently doesn't use them and instead
overflows the field.
InfoZIP's unzip doesn't care about this field and extracts all files
anyway. Software that uses the directory for presenting a filesystem
like view quickly -- notably Windows -- depends on it, but doesn't
lend itself to an automatic test case easily. Use InfoZIP's zipinfo,
which probably isn't available everywhere but at least can provides
*some* way to check this field.
To speed things up a bit create and commit only a subset of the files
and build a fake tree out of duplicates and pass that to git archive.
