Description Carl Myers CLA 2011-08-23 07:28:04 EDT 
When checking out a large repo, which also contains objects larger than 50MB (the default streamFileThreshold), jgit flips to "stream mode" which is very slow.

Many clients of the jgit library, including its own CLI, do not allow this to be configured or set it correctly.

I suggest the following remedies:
1. Allow this to be configured via System Properties so they can be controlled at the JVM level.
2. It would be nice to have the CLI recognize command-line options to set these.

I will be submitting a patch to make #1 happen soon.

Thanks!
