I'm new to git and I'm getting the following out of memory error on git gc: $ git gc Counting objects: 80818, done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads. fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed (tried to allocate 24359675 bytes) error: failed to run repack The only advice I found in the internet suggested to run repack with --window-memory parameter specified. But this call also fails: $ git repack -adf --window-memory=0 Counting objects: 80818, done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads. warning: suboptimal pack - out of memory fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed (tried to allocate 24356363 bytes) How do I cleanup my repository? $ git version git version 1.7.6.msysgit.0 OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x64) Physical memory: 24 GB The commands listed were executed under x64 console process. -- Thanks, Alexander Kostikov -- 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
