+ ===== Pushing big files =====
+ 
+ You shouldn't (can't) push bigger files than 2MiB. Big files, including patches, should be stored in distfiles.

+ If the file is accessible by url, just add ''# SourceX-md5: '' or ''# PatchX-md5: '' comment to the spec, and the file itself does not need to be added to git index. remove/revert if you already did.
