SCM-697 has friends in Unix land too
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19354870/bash-command-line-and-input-limit
So while the limit for most unixes is a lot larger than 8k, e.g. my mac is
256k and a lot of linux machines have a 128k limit
Aside:
`$ expr `getconf ARG_MAX` - `env|wc -c` - `env|wc -l` \* 4 - 2048`
will tell you your limit
There still is a limit, thus it would make sense to batch the add operation
based on the size of the command line. The batch size would ideally be
configurable with a default of 120k characters for unix and 8k characters for
windows so that windows can get some batching benefits too
