One of the tests in t7508 is marked as EXPENSIVE because it ends up creating and adding files that are multiple gigabytes in size. This takes a while to complete, hence the EXPENSIVE prerequisite. Besides being expensive though the test can only work on systems where `size_t` is at least 64 bit. This is because one of the created files is larger than 4GB, and because Git tracks object size via `size_t` it will eventually blow up. This test has also been blowing up in the "linux32" CI job in GitHub Workflows since 7a094d68a2 (ci: run expensive tests on push builds to integration branches, 2026-05-08). But that job doesn't only fail, it also hangs, and that has been concealing the failure. Fix the issue by marking the test as requiring 64 bit `size_t`.
