Hi team,

My first microproject is still at seen stage, so I decided to look for a good first issue from the repo to get more familiar with the process of patch submission and I found I would be interested in https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/issues/635

The Git suite CodingGuidelines suggest this about Error messages, but I found that git-compat-util.h contains die("Cannot handle files this big"); which breaks one of the rules

I want to change it to die("cannot handle files this big");
Someone should give me a go ahead on this

Thanks, Wilberforce
