Re: Large files for testing

I don't think we have worked out best practices for this, but in my 
opinion including it in the source code repo is the best approach.

While I haven't seen any 50 MB test cases before, I have included 
several >1 MB test cases in DiscussionTools, and this works fine for us.

If the file itself was regularly edited, I'd probably recommend 
splitting it up to reduce the size of updates you have to pull/push, but 
it seems that it has been unchanged since 8 years ago [1], so I wouldn't 
worry about that in this case.

However, if you really wanted to put it somewhere else, I would try 
creating a separate repository for just the test file (or files), and 
adding it as a submodule in the main source code repository. I think 
this isn't worth the complexity though until you actually run into 
issues with the simple approach.
