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?

Okay.

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.
