Interesting. We use GitLab which doesn't seem to have this limitation that I'm aware of. I've used it [GitLab] for PRs up to a few thousand lines.

We actually do show this when the diff is too large, but we're improving this with GitLab 8.10. In 8.10 diffs become collapsible, so you can choose to hide / show very large diffs for performance reasons [0] or to make it easier to walk through diffs with many files.

I stand corrected, in the best possible way. How exactly does GitLab define "large diff" anyway?

A large diff has 100 files / 5000 lines in total. A single large file is >=5KB.
