I thought this was more about using a packfile on smaller
(e.g. 32-bit) systems, but I may be mistaken. 2b84b5a8 (Introduce
the config variable pack.packSizeLimit, 2008-02-05) mentions
"filesystem constraints":
Introduce the config variable pack.packSizeLimit
"git pack-objects" has the option --max-pack-size to limit the
file size of the packs to a certain amount of bytes. On
platforms where the pack file size is limited by filesystem
constraints, it is easy to forget this option, and this option
does not exist for "git gc" to begin with.
