I found this in the man page for git-config, but I'm not sure it's
what we're after:

       http.postBuffer
           Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP transports
           when POSTing data to the remote system. For requests larger than
           this buffer size, HTTP/1.1 and Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used
           to avoid creating a massive pack file locally. Default is 1 MiB,
           which is sufficient for most requests.

I couldn't figure out where to set that, or what units it was using etc.

Yeah, I think I could get something to work this week/weekend maybe.

Thanks,
