Not for the Linux repos.
But apparently the mozilla repo ends up being 2GB in git. From Martin:

now that was done with _incremental_ repacking (ie his .git directory
won't be just one large pack), but I bet that if you were to clone it
(without using the "-l" flag or rsync/http), you'd end up with serious
trouble because of the single-pack limit.
So we're starting to see archives where single packs are problematic for
a 32-bit architecture.
