On Git Merge Wilhelm Bierbaum from Twitter made clear that we'd have problems with large transactions in git. As I have been working on that series a few months ago and it still bugs me, I thought about reviving the series. However the series got stale a few months ago because we were not sure how to do it right. The first few patches were deemed uncontroversial though, which I am resending now. The first patch contains tests telling us what needs fixing. The second patch renames the precondition for other tests, as ULIMIT is a bit generic. The third patch removes the `lock_fd` field from struct ref_lock which was duplicate information. That said, this series is not fixing the actual issue, but I'd guess having these patches is step forward actually.
