Philip Oakley has contributed these patches ~4.5 years ago, and they have
been carried in Git for Windows ever since.

Now that there are already other patch series flying around that try to
address various aspects about >4GB objects (which aren't handled well by Git
until it stops forcing unsigned long to do size_t's job), it seems a good
time to upstream these patches, too, at long last.

Changes since v1:

 * Rebased to current master to resolve the conflicts with
   ps/odb-source-loose
 * Dropped the !LONG_IS_64BIT prereq from the added/touched tests, as it is
   now no longer needed

Thanks, this addresses all of my feedback.
