Large github commit diff not shown

Official support answer as of Feb 19th / 2013 via Brian Levin @github.

We have some limits on diffs that we show in the browser in order to keep the pull request and compare pages working. Currently, we cut them off at 300 files, a total diff of 1MB, and an individual diff of 100KB.

If your diffs exceed the limits and can't be viewed online, you can always pull the changes locally and view the diff there. It may not be as convenient for you, but it'll get the job done.

Adding .patch to the end of the URL somewhat helps. Removes the nice UI and comment functionality, of course.

An example. If your pull request is: https://github.com/JustinTulloss/zeromq.node/pull/47, then the patch can be found at https://github.com/JustinTulloss/zeromq.node/pull/47.patch
