Thanks.  You may also want to wrap long lines, and/or use 'git

submission, this is enough to let us start review.

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind for next time.

I'd rather see us check both limits and reject the operation up front if
we can't meet both limits, than to lower the checks down into the
live/persistent branches but risk failure with live modified when the
persistent branch finally detects failure.

It also has the benefit of being a smaller diffstat:

Long line.  Also, I think it suffers from the same problem - if both
_LIVE and _CONFIG are given at once, then we want to cap things at the
lower of the two limits, rather than using just the live max as the limit.

This looks like it would work for my purposes.
