The various streams used in JGit for text/binary and CR-LF detection
used different buffer sizes. Most used 8000, but one used 8KiB, and one
used 8096 (SIC!) bytes.
Considering only the first 8kB of a file/blob is not sufficient; it
may give behavior incompatible with C git. C git considers the whole
blob; since it uses memory-mapped files it can do so with acceptable
performance. Doing this in JGit would most likely incur a noticeable
performance penalty. But 8kB is a bit small; in the file in bug 576971
the limit was hit before the first CR-LF, which occurred on line 155
at offset 9759 in the file.
Make RawText.FIRST_FEW_BYTES only a default and minimum setting, and
set it to 8KiB. Make the actual buffer size configurable: provide
static methods getBufferSize() and setBuffersize(), and use
getBufferSize() throughout instead of the constant.
This enables users of the JGit library to set their own possibly larger
buffer size.
