Sure, like

    http://svn.zope.org/ZODB/trunk/NEWS.txt?rev=3561&view=markup

and

    http://svn.zope.org/ZODB/trunk/test.py?rev=3561&view=markup

My algorithm:

1. Look for a "large" file.

2. View it.

3. Done <wink>.

That I don't know about.  Looking at the source for these pages, it's
consistently putting a </pre> tag much earlier than it should be.  It's even
possible that the </pre> tag is at the same offset in all these examples
(didn't check, but offhand it looks plausible).
