I bet 211MB is fine.  I think we can test that fairly easily too.  But,
30,000 files could be a problem.  I know that the sheer number of files has
been a problem in the past and the problem was fixed, but it could have come
back.  I certainly don't recall us having any stress tests of that
magnitude.

Any volunteers for this?  I'm imagining it should be pretty easy to write a
script that just creates lots of files in an empty repository and then tries
to record them all.

Thanks,
Jason
