In my home office environment I use mercurial as a configuration 
management tool for my wife's architecture practice. Many of her files 
are over 10 MB and she regards these as small files.

In my work environment I am using mercurial on model driven java 
projects where practically every file is over 10 MB.

For me, 10 meg is still a large file but for many of the people I 
support this is not the case any more.

The problem is when I ask somebody at another site to create a 
repository for me and they see that warning. They try to follow the 
instruction to revert. They think something has gone wrong, then they 
ask me to use a different tool because they think it has a problem.

I would prefer that there be a way to add a large file without 
generating this warning.
