The OP said it was a Linux server, and it would have to be a *really* old version of Linux to have a 2.4 GB limit. Kernel versions 2.4.x and later support large files, when paired with glibc 2.2.3 or later. By my estimation, you'd have to be running a kernel at least nine years old to run into that issue. I'm not going to say no one is running a system that obsolete, but if they are, they probably know it.
There *are* filesystems that still have that limit under Linux, but none of them are filesystems you're likely to host a repository on. Examples would be VFAT and SMBFS.
