Actually, I find it surprising that 25MB sounds so large. For
companies who work on products and very high-end projects, source code
running up to 25 MB is nothing surprising. If you consider the price
of the SourceOffsite product, I don't think it would be wrong to say
that the product is not within the reach of very small or small
companies who do not have substantial revenues, a solid bank of
clients and some large projects. So, if SourceOffsite's capacity to
handle larger projects is limited, then it's not a good sign for the
product and more importantly, a big issue for its users. I would
request your team to take this up on high priority, otherwise you
would run the risk of disappointing a lot of big customers.
