OK. Created a 2GB file containing random data. Created a new
repository. Checked out the repository. Added the 2GB file. Did the
commit. If you try this at home... have a lot of disk space because you'll
need to store:
1. the original 2GB file
2. the 2GB temporary file in .svn/tmp
3. the portion of the 2GB file that gets added to the repo
4. the log files for the portion that gets added to the repo
On my machine, each process has a hard limit of 448MB data segment size
and 64MB stack size.
The first time, everything was going along fine until I ran out of disk
space :)
The second time, after fixing the disk space issue, apache ran until it
reached its process memory limit and then stopped. It had committed 448MB
of the file when it stopped.
So, don't commit a file larger than any memory limits on the server or it
won't work.
