Hello, I am using git as archive and versioning also for photos. Apart from performance issues, I wanted to ask if there are hard limits and configurable limits (how to configure?) for maximum single file size and maximum .git archive size (Windows 64 Bit system)? Thanks in advance for your answer. All the best, Andreas
On Git the file size is currently limited to size of `long`, rather than `size_t`. Hence on Git-for Windows the size limit is 32bit ~4GiB
Any change will be a big change as it ripples through many places in the code base and, for some, will feel 'wrong'. I did some work [1-4] on top of those of many others that was almost there, but...
The alternative is git-lfs, which I don't personally use (see [4]). Philip [1] https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2179 [2] https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/115 [3] https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1063 [4] https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/2434
