Hmph, I thought the 100MB was only for blobs, as we stream the input we read from a regular file, but we do have the same limit there presumably to match what we do to blobs? I do not mind that, but I do not mind leaving it a future "consolidate various size limits on control files used by Git" patch, that unifies the limit for attrs, excludes, gitmodules, .git/config, etc.
