Goal
In https://public-inbox.org/git/20150612182045.GA23698%40peff.net/,
Peff sent a patch that is used by GitHub to abort `git receive-pack`
when the size of the pack we receive is bigger than a configured
limit.
GitLab is interested in using the same approach and in standardizing
the error messages the user could get back.
Comments
I kept Peff as the author of the patches that are made mostly from his
patch, but I added my Signed-off-by to them.
Changes from previous v2 version
All these changes have been suggested by Junio and are in patch 3/3,
the other 2 patches are the same as v2:
- renamed "receive.maxsize" to "receive.maxInputSize",
- improved commit message,
- renamed test script from "t5546-push-limits.sh" to
"t5546-receive-limits.sh",
- improved the tests in the last patch by adding a
test_pack_input_limit() function and deleting the destination repo
at the beginning of this function.
