How many files will make gitnexus "Maximum call stack size execeeded" #747

This error is usually not about an exact number of files, but about recursion depth and memory limits.

When GitNexus processes a large number of files (like ~5000), it may hit the JavaScript call stack limit, causing the "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error.

Why it works with ~1000 files:

• Fewer files → less recursion → lower memory usage → no stack overflow

Possible solutions:

1. Limit files using .gitignore or exclude large folders (node_modules, build, dist)
2. Process files in smaller batches instead of all at once
3. Increase Node.js memory limit:
   node --max-old-space-size=4096 your_script.js
4. Update GitNexus to latest version (may include optimizations)
5. Check if there are deeply nested directories or circular dependencies

So there is no fixed number like 5000 — it depends on project size, depth, and system resources.
