Hello all. In a few of my C++ projects being hosted on GitLab, I include a PDF generated by Doxygen to serve as a source code reference. These PDFs can get quite lengthy, as anyone familiar with Doxygen will know. After a little while, I noticed that GitLab wouldn't show me my diffs on merge requests anymore. They were always "too big," and required me to click the "download" link to see them. When I looked at them, a diff was also generated for the PDF, and it was huge. So I thought, okay, that makes sense-- I'll just add a .gitattributes file that removes the diff ability from PDF files for this repo. I did that, and now when I look at the diff it no longer includes the PDF's diff, but GitLab STILL says it's too large (even though the diff is only a few lines). I narrowed it down to the reload_diffs function of the MergeRequestDiff model, which still seems to count the lines from the PDF diff thus putting it in the :overflow_diff_lines_limit state, regardless of the .gitattributes file.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a workaround? I'd like to continue including the generated PDF if I can. Thank you for any help.
