I reported the limitation to GitHub and they said they would look into it but I don't know if they've fixed it. I believe we can avoid triggering this limitation again by not modifying too many files in a single commit. If we hit the limitation again, manual intervention is required to throw away the Subversion working copy on the server, and then after the new working copy is checked out the portindexes get regenerated, which takes hours; I want to avoid going through all that hassle ever again.
This at least could be avoided by checking out directly from git, I presume?
