  • If you're using a 32-bit computer it's 2147483647, that's 231-1, the maximum value of a signed 32-bit integer. For a 64-bit computer, it's... more. In any case, it should be enough for any practical purpose where humans are doing commits.

    In practice, you're probably going to run out of disk space or your directory indexes become too slow before you hit the maximum revision number limit.
