Description
In some very very special cases the Diff.Compare between commits is throwing an exception at blob.cs line 115.
OutOfMemoryException to be true.
I have surfed around a bit. Some recommend using ReadAllText instead of the stream reader, others recommend reading one line at a time instead.
Any thoughts about this. I am more than happy to do the work / PR, just want to know thoughts how best to improve :-)

Research direction
Start with Blob.cs at line 115 and inspect the Diff.Compare path associated with the reported OutOfMemoryException. Determine the special-case input that triggers the failure and establish a reproducible test; done means the comparison no longer throws for that case.
