42
-This covers the entry point for a big file to the system. Other parts that
43
-need to know about them are the exit point (i.e. write_entry()), packing
44
-and repacking (as long as bigfilethreshold is sane this should work),
45
-diffs and status (avoid slurping large binary in core only to do nothing,
46
-which we already should), and transport (receive-pack/fetch-pack call
47
-either unpack-objects or index-pack, which still want to hold the full
48
-object in-core and need to be fixed).
