Oops.

Can you try the current git tree? "git fetch" is built-in these days, and 
that old shell-script that ran "git fetch--tool" on all the refs is no 
more, so most likely the problem simply no longer exists.

But maybe there is some way to raise the argument size limit on OS X. One 
thing to check is whether maybe you have an excessively big environment 
(just run "printenv" to see what it contains) which might be cutting down 
on the size allowed for arguments.
