Further information for you: The "not a valid repository" error only arises
when Fossil tries to measure the size of the repository file and sees that
either the file does not exist or else that the size of the file is less
than 1024 bytes. It does this by calling stat() on the file and looking at
the stat.st_size field. I use mingw configured as a cross-compiler and
running on linux to build the binaries you find on the website. My guess
is, then, that the stat() function in mingw is perhaps unable to deal with
13 GB files....
Can you (or someone else) perhaps rebuild Fossil from sources using a native
windows compiler and see if that helps?
If you can't do that, let me know and I'll send you a bootleg binary that
contains a
fossil test-file-size FILENAME
command that we can use to confirm or disprove my theory about stat() and
mingw....
