 I'm not sure if this is a defect, or if it's intended, but I have a
 '''very''' large text file (it's test input data) in my repository.  When
 I attempt to view it in the ''browser'', I correctly get a message that
 the file size is too large to preview.  However, when I try to view a
 ''changeset'' regarding this file, Apache just goes away to contemplate
 its navel, and meanwhile access to the site is non-existent.  I have never
 waited long enough to view the final results.

 Maybe {{{max_preview_size}}} should control the ''changeset'' view as
 well, or maybe there should be another variable.  I realize that the
 "difference" may be much smaller than the total file, but in this case, it
 is causing a lot of grief.

 I think that a work-around might be to change the mime-type of the file in
 the repository, but I haven't tried that yet.  Maybe then Trac won't try
 to do anything with the file in the changeset view.

 If it matters, I am using Apache 2.0.52, Python 2.4.2 with mod_python,
 under Windows x64.
