Hi Phillip,
Thanks for the fast response! And thanks for the improvement if you decide to make this more obvious. I must have used an older git version earlier as I was able to process even 3GB patches easily.
Too bad there is no override for this.. (we're working on a .NET monorepo - https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet - so one of a kind, and we hit these limits at times)
Cheers, Premek

This stems from commit f1c0e3946e (apply: reject patches larger than ~1 GiB, 2022-10-25). Unfortunately it does not provide a very helpful error message. I'll submit a patch later to fix that in the next few days.
Best Wishes
Phillip
