Odd, it shouldn't be possible to actually commit files that large.
Mercurial currently has a 31-bit (2GiB) limit on the size of individual
file revisions (though file history for a singe file can run to 48 bits
or 281TB). How big is your bundle file?

We haven't had much pressure to move that boundary (it's easy to move it
from 2G to 4G), because people generally run into other problems (disk
space, bandwidth, memory) before they hit it.
