Github file size limit changed 6/18/13. Can't push now

The actual limit on GitHub for each file is 100 MiB, not 100 MB.


https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-my-disk-quota/ (mirror) erroneously claims that they place a strict limit of files exceeding 100 MB in size

The confusion between MB and MiB can be seen when pushing: in the example below, the error message from GitHub server indicates the file is 101 MB whereas git correctly indicates it is 101 MiB:
