Git was designed to track source code, there are warts that show up
in the implementation when you use individual files >4GB
I'd expect that if you want to deal with files over 100k, you should
assume that it doesn't all fit in memory.
well, as others noted, the problem is actually caused by doing the diffs, and
that is something that is a very common thing to do with source code.
And I would assume that files of several MB would be able to fit in memory
(again, this was assumed to be for development, and compilers take a lot of ram
to run, so having enough ram to hold any individual source file while the
compiler is _not_ using ram doesn't seem likely to be a problem)
