My .git folder was 22.7 GB and every git command failed with "wrong index v1 file size". The cause was a year-old git add. Here are the checks and the six commands that fixed it.

Moving 32 JS/TS repos from Windows into WSL2: node_modules per OS, inotify limits, git dubious ownership, CRLF, ports, and the one-copy rule that ended it.
