From 22bac0ea528fd419cb833cab5de79a36fad91524 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2007 22:28:08 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Increase packedGit{Limit,WindowSize} on 64 bit systems. If we have a 64 bit address space we can easily afford to commit a larger amount of virtual address space to pack file access. So on these platforms we should increase the default settings of core.packedGit{Limit,WindowSize} to something that will better handle very large projects. Thanks to Andy Whitcroft for pointing out that we can safely increase these defaults on such systems. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
