+I recently fixed a bug that would
+likewise cause git-annex to fail on windows with a large file, although I
+didn't see it failing with this message.
+
+There's a good chance that git-annex version 5.20150205 might fix this
+problem.
+
+I was able to successfully use git-annex with a 6 gb file, after the fixes.
+
+Please check, and followup. I'm closing this bug provisionally in the
+meantime.

+git (not git-annex) will throw this error if a file size is greater than
+`size_t`.
+
+This bug report seemed to originally concern git add being run on such a
+file, but I can't see how git-annex would do that, it doesn't add large
+files to git.
+
+I think that in the case of git-annex status, when it runs git status, that
+looks at work tree files, and so falls over if they're large, even if
+what's checked into git is a nice small git-annex symlink. This would also
+probably affect other places where git looks at worktree files, perhaps git
+diff (in v6 repo mode).
+
+Reopening bug report.
