Limiting file size in git repository

Question

I\'m currently thinking of changing my VCS (from subversion) to git. Is it possible to limit the file size within a commit in a git repository? For e. g. subversion there is

Answer 1

You need a solution that caters to the following scenarios.

1. If someone is pushing multiple commits together, then the hook should check ALL the commits (between oldref and newref) in that push for files greater than a certain limit
2. The hook should run for all users. If you write a client side hook, it will not be available for all users since such hooks are not pushed when you do a git push. So, what is needed is a server side hook such as a pre-receive hook.

This hook (https://github.com/mgit-at/git-max-filesize) deals with the above 2 cases and seems to also correctly handle edge cases such as new branch pushes and branch deletes.
