In this age of 5-second attention spans, I'm not sure you can expect us to follow a link to an external site when a simple cut&paste job would have sufficed, like so: I'm tracking two customer SVN branches with msysgit 1.7.7.1 (Win 7 64bit): SVN Git trunk --> master release_x_y_z --> git-local-release_x_y_z After a successful local merge of 'git-local-release_x_y_z' into 'master' I'm running out of memory, when trying to synchronize the result with svn: mb@MMPEPA23 /c/git/MySoft (master) $ git svn rebase First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... Applying: fatal: Out of memory, realloc failed Repository lacks necessary blobs to fall back on 3-way merge. Cannot fall back to three-way merge. Patch failed at 0001 When you have resolved this problem run "git rebase --continue". If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git rebase --skip". To check out the original branch and stop rebasing run "git rebase --abort". rebase refs/remotes/git-svn: command returned error: 1 The .git/rebase-apply directory contains a few files ('patch', '0001') with more than 1GB size. What can I do in order to apply this patch? First you should find out whether something went wrong with the patch generation, or if that 1GB size is plausible. Did your merge bring in blobs that were that big? Second, you could try with the -m option. This will use a 3-way merge to rebase, which avoids generating a full patch. -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch -- 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
