   5------------------

   7 * xdiff code we use to generate diffs is not prepared to handle
   8   extremely large files.  It uses "int" in many places, which can
   9   overflow if we have a very large number of lines or even bytes in
  10   our input files, for example.  Cap the input size to soemwhere
  11   around 1GB for now.
  12
  13 * Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary code
  14   found in the URL.  The URLs that submodules use may come from
  15   arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote
  16   repository), and can hurt those who blindly enable recursive
  17   fetch.  Restrict the allowed protocols to well known and safe
  18   ones.
