[PATCH 0/2] Specify the actual pack size limit which is breached

["Matt Cooper via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

Git allows configuring a maximum pack size. GitHub (like presumably other
Git hosts) configures this setting to a generous but finite limit. When a
user attempts to push an oversized pack, their connection is terminated with
a message that they've exceeded the limit. The user has to find the limit
value elsewhere, probably in the host's documentation. This change adds a
small convenience -- specifying the limit itself in the error message -- so
that users no longer have to search elsewhere to discover the limit.

Matt Cooper (2):
  index-pack: clarify the breached limit
  t5302: confirm that large packs mention limit
