This isn't a regression, right? Largefiles and keywords have never
worked properly together, correct?

It's extremely important to roll back regressions as quickly as
possible. We might even delay a release to fix one.

Otherwise, this bug is not urgent, especially considering that it's at
the intersection of two "features of last resort". Let's figure out how
to fix it properly after 2.3.
