Determine practical file and commit number limits for git

As a baseline, we should determine what is a practical file and commit number limit, for average sized files, for a local git database run on a to be determined hardware benchmark.

This investigation does not include LFS files.

• Determine hardware baseline
• Develop scripts to generate files and commits
• Agree on response times for good, average and bad performance.
• Determine where limits are for good, average and bad performance.
