Hello, I am using git as archive and versioning also for photos. Apart from performance issues, I wanted to ask if there are hard limits and configurable limits (how to configure?) for maximum single file size and maximum .git archive size (Windows 64 Bit system)? Thanks in advance for your answer. All the best, Andreas
