The `__MINGW64__` constant is defined, surprise, surprise, only when
building for a 64-bit CPU architecture.
Therefore using it as a guard to define `_POSIX_C_SOURCE` (so that
`localtime_r()` is declared, among other functions) is not enough, we
also need to check `__MINGW32__`.
Technically, the latter constant is defined even for 64-bit builds. But
let's make things a bit easier to understand by testing for both
constants.
Making it so fixes this compile warning (turned error in GCC v14.1):
archive-zip.c: In function 'dos_time':

A hotfix to an earlier attempt to update code paths that assumed
"unsigned long" was long enough for "size_t".
* js/objects-larger-than-4gb-on-windows:
zlib: properly clamp to uLong
On platforms where `unsigned long` and `size_t` differ in bit size, we
want to clamp the buffers we pass to zlib to the former's size, as per
d05d666977 (git-zlib: handle data streams larger than 4GB, 2026-05-08).
The logic introduced in that commit performs a clamping to the bits,
though, which fails to do what is needed here: If too many bytes are
available in the buffers, we need to clamp to the maximum value of an
`unsigned long`. Otherwise, we ask zlib to use too small buffers, in the
worst case using 0 as the size (think: a value whose 32 lowest bits are
all zero).

The Windows builds in GitLab CI use Chocolatey to install dependencies.
Unfortunately, Chocolatey seems to be very unreliable, which causes the
jobs to fail very regularly. This is a limitation that seems to be
somewhat known [1]:
As an organization, you want 100% reliability (or at least that
potential), and you may want full trust and control as well. This is
something you can get with internally hosted packages, and you are
unlikely to achieve from use of the Community Package Repository.
So using the Community Package Repository is kind of discouraged in case
one wants reliability. We _do_ want reliability though, and we cannot
easily switch to an enterprise license to fix this issue.
Introduce a new script that downloads and installs dependencies
directly. This has a couple of benefits:
- We can drop our dependency on Chocolatey completely, thus improving
reliability.
- We can easily cache the installers.
- We get direct control over the exact versions we install.
- Installing dependencies is sped up from roundabout 3 minutes to 1
minute.

When `js/objects-larger-than-4gb-on-windows` widened the streaming,
index-pack and unpack-objects code paths, in the interest of keeping the
patches somewhat reasonably-sized, it left the public ODB API still
typed in `unsigned long`. In particular `struct object_info::sizep` and
the four wrappers built on top of it (`odb_read_object`,
`odb_read_object_peeled`, `odb_read_object_info`, `odb_pretend_object`)
still return the unpacked size through `unsigned long *`, so on Windows
`cat-file -s` and the `git add` / `git status` paths for a >4 GiB blob
silently cap at 4 GiB.
Widen the field and the four wrappers. The previous commits already
widened the `unpack_entry()` cascade and pack-objects' in-core size
accessors, so most of the cascade arrives here with no further work: the
temporary shims in `packed_object_info_with_index_pos()` and in
`unpack_entry()`'s delta-base recovery path go away, the two
`SET_SIZE(entry, cast_size_t_to_ulong(canonical_size))` calls in
`check_object()` and the matching one in `drop_reused_delta()` collapse
to plain `SET_SIZE`, and `oe_get_size_slow()`'s tail
`cast_size_t_to_ulong()` is gone too.
What remains narrow are the boundaries this series does not
intend to touch: the diff, blame, textconv and fast-import machinery.
Even so, this patch is unfortunately quite large.

When I started the transition from `unsigned long` to `size_t`, in the
interest of keeping the patches reviewable, I introduced these calls to
prevent data type narrowing from silently failing to handle large object
sizes. I also introduced `*_sz()` variants that would allow most of the
callers to keep using that `unsigned long` that the 90s kindly asked to
be returned.
After the preceding commits, the only places that called the narrow
wrappers either no longer exist or already use the `_sz` form
internally, so the wrappers just narrow values back through
`cast_size_t_to_ulong()` for no reason.
Drop them and rename the `_sz` variants back to the natural names.

`pack-objects` stores per-entry object sizes in either the 31-bit
`size_` member of the `struct object_entry` or, when the value does not
fit, the `pack->delta_size[]` spill array. The accessors (`oe_size`,
`oe_delta_size`, `oe_get_size_slow`, `oe_size_*_than`) and the setters
(`oe_set_size`, `oe_set_delta_size`) used `unsigned long` for the spill
type, which on Windows means the spill silently caps at 4 GiB per entry.
That is what made `upload-pack` die with "object too large to read on
this platform" when serving the >4 GiB blob in `t5608` tests 5 and 6
when run with `GIT_TEST_CLONE_2GB`.
Widen them all to `size_t` (including `pack->delta_size`) and drop the
three `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` calls in `check_object()` that guarded
`in_pack_size`. The two `SET_SIZE(entry, canonical_size)` calls in the
same function stay cast-free as before, since `canonical_size` is still
`unsigned long` until a later commit widens `object_info::sizep`.

The topic `js/objects-larger-than-4gb-on-windows` widened the streaming,
index-pack and unpack-objects paths to `size_t` but deliberately stopped
at the in-memory `unpack_entry()` cascade, which still hands back the
unpacked size through `unsigned long *`. On Windows that boundary
truncates above 4 GiB because that data type is only 32 bits wide on
that platform.
Widen the code path. Except `packed_object_info_with_index_pos()`: It
cannot yet pass `oi->sizep` directly because the field is still
`unsigned long *`; bridge it with a `size_t` temporary that narrows
back, and let a later commit drop the bridge once the field is wide
too. `gfi_unpack_entry()` keeps its narrow signature because fast-import
tracks sizes through `unsigned long` everywhere it crosses subsystem
boundaries, keeping its signature allows the scope of this commit to be
somewhat reasonable, still.

`write_reuse_object()` learned to track its packed-object size as
`size_t` in 606c192380 (odb, packfile: use size_t for streaming
object sizes, 2026-05-08), but the comparison sink it feeds,
`check_pack_inflate()`, still takes the expected decompressed size
as `unsigned long`. The call site bridges the mismatch with
`cast_size_t_to_ulong()`, which on Windows turns a >4 GiB object
into an immediate die().
That function only uses `expect` once: as the right-hand side of a
`stream.total_out == expect` equality test against zlib's counter.
zlib's own `total_out` counter is `uLong` and is therefore still
32-bit-bound on Windows. Widening `expect` to `size_t` cannot fix that,
but it is a strict improvement nonetheless: instead of dying outright,
an oversized object now simply makes the equality fail and lets
`write_reuse_object()` fall back to `write_no_reuse_object()`, which
decompresses and re-deflates the content (and which the larger
pack-objects widening series targets separately).
Drop the `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` shim at the call site now that
the receiving parameter speaks the same type as `entry_size`.

`patch_delta()` takes the source and delta sizes by value and writes
back the reconstructed target size through an `unsigned long *`. That
datatype cannot represent a value that exceeds 4 GiB on systems where
`unsigned long` is 32-bit (notably 64-bit Windows builds), though, even
though the delta encoding itself, the on-disk layout, and the in-memory
buffers happily carry such sizes. A `size_t` companion to
`get_delta_hdr_size()`, `get_delta_hdr_size_sz()`, was introduced in
17fa077596 (delta, packfile: use size_t for delta header sizes,
2026-05-08) precisely so that `patch_delta()` could be widened without
changing the on-the-wire decoding helper's signature.

On Windows, `unsigned long` and `long` are 32 bits even on 64-bit
builds. The MSVC compatibility header has shimmed `ftruncate()` with
#define ftruncate _chsize
ever since `compat/msvc-posix.h` was introduced. `_chsize()` takes a
32-bit `long` for the new length, which silently truncates files (and
the requested size) to 2 GiB. That is enough to make t7508 test 126
"git add fails gracefully with 4 GiB and 8 GiB files" fail under
MSVC: `test-tool truncate` creates a sparse 4 GiB or 8 GiB file via
the shimmed `ftruncate()`, and the test never gets off the ground.
`_chsize_s()` is the modern replacement, accepts a 64-bit `__int64`
length, and is the only sensible target on Windows. The catch is that
it does not follow the POSIX `-1` + `errno` convention: it returns
`0` on success and an errno value (a small positive integer) on
failure. A plain `#define ftruncate _chsize_s` would therefore
silently break callers that test the return value as `< 0` or against
`-1`, of which there are several: `http.c`, `parallel-checkout.c`,
and `t/helper/test-truncate.c` among them.
Introduce a `static inline` wrapper that calls `_chsize_s()`, copies
its errno return into `errno`, and translates the result to the
familiar `-1` / `0` convention, then point `ftruncate` at the
wrapper. Place the wrapper after `#include "mingw-posix.h"` so the
`off_t` parameter resolves to the already-widened `off64_t` rather
than the 32-bit `_off_t` from `compat/vcbuild/include/unistd.h`.
MinGW is unaffected: its `ftruncate()` already takes `off_t` and
routes through `ftruncate64()` when `_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64`, which is
the default in our build.
