I started that out at 5000 because it was a reasonably safe
threshold.  Users who didn't explicitly lower this value didn't
enable the feature.  But it was still useful on initial pushes into
a brand new repository when the project was very large.  For example
pushing git.git into a bare repository *sucked* before this change.

Yea, 5000 is probably too high.  Nice to see it drop.
