Hi Lou,

As Coda caches whole files, it is not very useful to actually have
larger than 2GB files because it takes a lot of time to fetch/store such
a large file (I know networking is getting faster every day, but still).
However, being able to run Coda on 64-bit architectures and supporting
larger than 2GB venus-caches are very useful indeed.
