Comment (by dustin):

 Indeed - this is a fundamental flaw of naïve use of RPC for data transfer,
 in both cases.

 Compressing patches will only buy time (space?) until this hurts a
 particular use.  At least changing the SIZE_LIMIT lets the user dial in
 their own ceiling.

 Let's do the documentation as a simple step to get 0.8.6 out the door.  If
 there's clamor for it, we can later implement this as a master
 configuration parameter (and call a method on the slave to set the
 corresponding value, and similarly get the try client to determine the
 appropriate SIZE_LIMIT before sending a patch).
