warning: dumping very large path (> 256 MiB); this may run out of memory

[bjornfor]

I think it would be useful if the message was changed in two ways:

• the actual size of the path is printed (replacing the "> 256" part)
• the path to the path(!) is printed

[edolstra]

Well, it won't know the size of the path until it has dumped all of it, which might take much longer and cause OOM.

[bjornfor]

Doh, I didn't know that. So that message is printed at the time process has copied 256 MiB, not when the copying starts?

But the path to the path is feasible to add, right?

[copumpkin]

This confused me too, FWIW

I'd personally close this in favor of #358. (I don't have the permissions.)
