[Insight-developers] GIT : hook declined: size 1435 KB, greater than the maximum 1024 KB

[David Cole]

Could we go so far as to adjust the hook such that if the object looks
"text-ish" that there is no size limit...?

Is that possible?

The reason for the size limit is to prevent arbitrarily large, largely
incompressible *binary* objects from getting into the git objects database,
but the only people who have run into it so far are simply trying to commit
the first version of a very large text file. (Usually one that they didn't
write, and usually for a file that will not be heavily modified moving
forward anyhow, to the best of our ability to predict the future....)


Thanks,
Dave
