In https://public-inbox.org/git/20150612182045.GA23698%40peff.net/, Peff sent a patch that is used by GitHub to abort `git receive-pack` when the size of the pack we receive is bigger than a configured limit. GitLab is interested in using the same approach and in standardizing the error messages the user could get back. So I rebased Peff's patch to the current master, refreshed it a bit, split it, and added the missing --max-input-size=<size> option to `git unpack-objects` - to make it work for all `transfer.unpacklimit` values - in a new patch. There is no documentation yet for the `--max-input-size=<size>` options added to `git index-pack` and `git unpack-objects`, nor for the new `receive.maxsize` config option. I kept Peff as the author of the patches that are made mostly from his patch, but I added my Signed-off-by to them.
