Ofcourse, the docs are not correct. 2.4 Linux kernels support files > 2GB
just fine.

*However* the history index and hash files will also get a lot
larger because of the 64 bit file-offsets, so you will need more RAM
to get the same performance. Especially as the VM in current (2.4.17)
kernels isn't very good and likes to have lots of free RAM.
