Research direction

Start at Repository.cs line 732 and follow the clone path through Proxy.cs line 356 to Ensure.cs line 154. Reproduce the failure with a repository larger than 2GB and inspect how the native clone result becomes this error. Done means cloning such a repository no longer returns the invalid or unrecognized response.
