Diff limits administration

NOTE: Note: Merge requests and branch comparison views will be affected.

CAUTION: Caution: These settings are currently under experimental state. They'll increase the resource consumption of your instance and should be edited mindfully.

  1. Access Admin area > Settings > General
  2. Expand Diff limits

Maximum diff patch size

This is the content size each diff file (patch) is allowed to reach before it's collapsed, without the possibility of being expanded. A link redirecting to the blob view will be presented for the patches that surpass this limit.

Patches surpassing 10% of this content size will be automatically collapsed, but expandable (a link to expand the diff will be presented).
