11 Seems a bit odd to make restrictions of that sort, although if a binary
12 file is shoved into the tree and updated a lot it'll be pita for rsync.
13 Dunno, the size limit is good enough for me at this point- we don't
14 need to be sync'ing 150kb patches.

16 Related note, the check is InCVS, next 2.0.51 release will now mark
17 those files as a failure.
18 Again, please correct these files.
