I tried 'git repack -a -d -f --window=250 --depth=250' with 1.6.2.5 (fc11.x86_64) and it took half a day, swallowed up all the memory - 3GB virtual & 1.3GB resident - and finally the kernel oom killer killed it at a last message of (601460/957910). Left no temp files. Would git 1.6.3 use less memory? :-( Hin-Tak -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
