I can't reproduce this locally, and unfortunately I don't have access to macOS any more.

Can you provide a link to the repository you used? It is very large, which makes me think it might be a compiled project? In that case you would expect the --gitignore to cause it to skip a large number of files.

That repository is only 5GB when I check it out? But that probably doesn't matter, as I can't reproduce this with any large repository.

One thing to try: Can you copy a large directory that is not a git repository? If it does fail to copy can you run it with -vv and send me the logs.
