pack-objects: do not truncate result in-pack object size on 32-bit systems
A typical diff will not show what's going on and you need to see full functions. The core code is like this, at the end of of write_one() e->idx.offset = *offset; size = write_object(f, e, *offset); if (!size) { e->idx.offset = recursing; return WRITE_ONE_BREAK; } written_list[nr_written++] = &e->idx; /* make sure off_t is sufficiently large not to wrap */ if (signed_add_overflows(*offset, size)) die("pack too large for current definition of off_t"); *offset += size; Here we can see that the in-pack object size is returned by write_object (or indirectly by write_reuse_object). And it's used to calculate object offsets, which end up in the pack index file, generated at the end. If "size" overflows (on 32-bit sytems, unsigned long is 32-bit while off_t can be 64-bit), we got wrong offsets and produce incorrect .idx file, which may make it look like the .pack file is corrupted.
