The size of the File's "content", in bytes.

CLASS METHODS
Constructors
Usually you won't construct an instance of this class directly, but instead, use various methods of other modules that create File objects by interacting with the Project.
new-
Takes all "Accessors" of this class and VCI::Abstract::Committable, as named parameters. The following fields are required: path and project.
If you don't specify revision, VCI assumes you want an object representing the "latest" or "HEAD" revision of this File.
