Failing to read huge pack files

[ijuedt]

I'm using lib2gitsharp with big enterprise repositories which may have pack files with a size of 4 to 5 GB. When the size of the initially cloned pack file exceeds a certain value, reading operations will fail. I started with a 4.5 GB pack file repo, which I updated incrementally for some months. This poses no problems. When I freshly clone the same repo now, the initial pack file has (due to ongoing development) grown to 5.5 GB, which lib2gitsharp cannot handle any more.

Reproduction steps

Connect to a repository with pack files of size between 4.5 GB (working) and 5.56 GB (failing).
Iterate the commits of a branch or call a Diff.Compare on two Trees.

Expected behavior

Iterating the commit collection or comparing two trees works without exception.

Actual behavior

A LibGit2SharpException exception is thrown:

LibGit2Sharp.LibGit2SharpException
HResult=0x80131500
Message=invalid pack file - delta offset is zero
