[Monotone-devel] oversized payload

[Hugo Cornelis]

Hi,

monotone refused to synchronize between a client and server.

On the server side I got the error message

mtn: warning: protocol error while processing peer <some ip>:50331: 'oversized payload of '468421054' bytes'

:-)

This happened after adding a large (well, HUGE) file to the repository.  I was actually using monotone as a means to distribute an archive to several target machines.

To solve the problem, I reverted to a backup repository on the client side.

But what is the policy of monotone wrt file size that can be checked into a repository?
