Well, IIRC this limit was to be a workaround. Maybe it is a time to
consider solving the problem?

Mercurial is perfectly fine while managing 100 files 100kB each, and
this is just as much data as single 10MB file. If I cut this 10MB file
into 100 chunks, commit them separately, and cat before using,
everything is fine (and fast).

What about implementing this very logic behind the curtain?
