    Description

      "Now that is a lot of code! There's simply too much in this diff for us to render it all."

      This message left me with bad feels (happened on a package-lock.json).

      Some suggestions:

      1. Don't act surprised/incredulous - it's judgemental and makes people feel bad.
      2. Don't treat the size as an excuse "There's simply too much" is a judgemental "you fucked up" whereas something like "We've limited diffs to X lines" would be a non-judgemental "we can't support you"
      3. Offer a solution "To view these changes, please clone the repository and run git ...".
