Git does not have a limitation of 2 GB for each repo. I don't think you'll find official information about the limits on repository size except in the context of specific use cases (like gitweb, GitHub, BitBucket, Gitlab, etc.)
At a previous employer, we regularly worked with a repository that was over 10 GB. Performance suffered in various ways, but that was the situation and we worked with it. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/984707/what-are-the-file-limits-in-git-number-and-size for a good summary and many links to other information sources on large git repositories.
