If the requirement that all files can be mmapped cannot be easily removed,
would be it perhaps be acceptable to impose a (soft?) 1GB(ish) file size

Most definitely not. Why should we limit a cross-platform system for
the benefit of one particular developer's lacking hardware?

Perhaps a simple warning would suffice  "Warning: Files larger than
2GB may cause problems when trying to checkout on Windows."
