Like, what would the expected behavior be if a checkout or export would exceed the desired size? I assume the size concern here is about disk usage, so does that mean that "too big" means not just "the user-visible files sum up to be too big" but would also include the storage cost of the working copy metadata (db, pristines, etc.)? And there are other questions I could pose, but maybe this is sufficient for you to cast your vision. Thanks! -- Mike
