I am not sure a hard limit will be very useful. There will always be 
exceptions anyway - and what happens if a file starts out small and 
suddenly grows over the limit?

Instead I suggest doing something like
   find * -size +10M | sed 's,^,exclude ,g' >> filemap
and edit the filemap if needed.

Something like
   ls -lrS $(find .hg -type f)
can be handy to see what might have been missed.
