+ * 3 bytes of data and the overall packfile cannot exceed 4 GiB with
+ * version 1 of the index file due to the offsets limited to 32 bits.
+ * Clearly the signature exceeds this maximum.
+ *
+ * Very old git binaries will also compare the first 4 bytes to the
+ * next 4 bytes in the index and abort with a "non-monotonic index"
+ * error if the second 4 byte word is smaller than the first 4
+ * byte word.  This would be true in the proposed future index
+ * format as idx_signature would be greater than idx_version.
