Greetings.
This is my first patch here. Hopefully I get the stylistic & political
details right... :)
Patch applies against maint and master

(If I understand the mechanics, in theory a negative offset should work,
 if the values lined up just right, but would be very wrong, overwriting the
lower contents of the file)

        Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1

        By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:

        (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
            have the right to submit it under the open source license
            indicated in the file; or

        (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
            of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
            license and I have the right under that license to submit that
            work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
            by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
            permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
            in the file; or

        (c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
            person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
            it.

(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
this project or the open source license(s) involved.

Affects git svn clone/fetch
Original code loaded entire file contents into a variable
before writing to disk. If the offset within the variable passed
2 GiB, it becrame negative, resulting in a crash.
On a 32 bit system, or a system with low memory it may crash before
reaching 2 GiB due to memory exhaustion.
Fix writes in smaller 64K increments. Tested to work on git svn fetch
