Description

Author: @jlsherrill (jsherril@redhat.com)

Redmine Issue: 4991, https://pulp.plan.io/issues/4991


When creating a new repository version (i tested with file repos), if i specify upwards of 70,000 units to add, the request will fail. This is likely due to webserver limitations for the request size. a json array of 70,000 hrefs was about 4MB

We've worked around the problem by simply creating multiple versions each adding about 10K units
