From: larsxschneider@gmail.com Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2016 17:55:09 GMT Subject: [PATCH v1] pack-protocol: fix maximum pkt-line size Message-ID: <20160829175509.69050-1-larsxschneider@gmail.com> From: Lars Schneider According to LARGE_PACKET_MAX in pkt-line.h the maximal length of a pkt-line packet is 65520 bytes. The pkt-line header takes 4 bytes and therefore the pkt-line data component must not exceed 65516 bytes. Signed-off-by: Lars Schneider --- This patch was part of my "Git filter protocol" series [1]. Stefan suggested to submit this patch individually as it is not strictly required in the series [2].
