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.
