I considered the 4th patch in this series to address the issue, but I
suppose this one does too. Is it ok to have two patches with the same
issue number?

The filename isn't available at this point. And there may not even be
a file at all: you could also hit this limit if you try to create a
giant manifest entry, I think. That's why I decided to handle the
filename higher up in the call stack.

Sure, but the hint is not shown for a RevlogError. You have to throw
an Abort for the hint to show, so that's why I also I thought that
this could just be added here and a caller could decide to show the
hint or not.
