title: Github file size limit changed 6/18/13. Can't push now
body: <p>How does this change as of June 18, 2013 affect my existing repository with a file that exceeds that limit? I last pushed 2 months ago with a large file. </p>
  
  <p>I have a large file that I have removed locally but I can not push anything now. I get a "remote error" ... remote: error: File cron_log.log is 126.91 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100 MB</p>
  
  <p>I added the file to .gitignore after original push... But it still exists on remote (origin)</p>
  
  <p>Removing it locally should get rid of it at origin(Github) right? ... but ... it is not letting me push because there is a file on Github that exceeds the limit...</p>
