Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/15767 ## Johannes Sixt, 2008-10-03 08:28 Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: Show a round number of bytes of large untracked text files Message-ID: <48E5D7C1.7050404@viscovery.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/48E5D7C1.7050404%40viscovery.net ``` From: Johannes Sixt If an untracked text file is selected, then its contents are displayed instead of a diff. If the file is large, then the following hint is inserted at the top: * Untracked file is 14774881 bytes. * Showing only first 131072 bytes. Why exactly 131072 bytes? With this patch it is 100000 bytes.
