If the requirement that all files can be mmapped cannot be easily

would be it perhaps be acceptable to impose a (soft?) 1GB(ish)  
file size
limit?

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."

Something like that, except that limit seems to be only 1.3GB on Mac  
OS X
