Description libing wang CLA 2014-03-25 14:25:23 EDT 
Found this issue when fixing bug 430884.
Clicking on a 1M+ js file returns error like below:

{
  "message": "This API returns blobs up to 1 MB in size. The requested blob is too large to fetch via the API, but you can use the Git Data API to request blobs up to 100 MB in size.",
  "documentation_url": "http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/#get-contents",
  "errors": [
    {
      "resource": "Blob",
      "field": "data",
      "code": "too_large"
    }
  ]
}

I looked at the history of GitHubFileImpl.js. We had a fix for that before. It seems to me like a regression.(I am sure the same 1M+ file worked before. e.g. built-browse.js).
Another possibility: The gitHub API has been changed?
