Hello, I am using MSysgit 1.7.9 on WinXP 32bit and have a very large repo (10GB in .git; 20GB in source tree). I had to set pack.packsizelimit=1024MB to prevent "out of memory" during repacking in git-gc and everything seemed to work fine. When I tried to clone this repo an "out of memory" occured because the packs to be transferred by the git protocol are not limited by pack.packsizelimit. I "fixed" this by setting transfer.unpackLimit=100000 and thus transferring only loose objects. This is very slow but it works. In this cloned repo now git-gc again causes "out of memory" because it tries to pack all loose objects in one go thereby seemingly not respecting pack.packsizelimit ... (Setting --window-memory=512m in git-repack did not help here.) Am I doing anything wrong here or is this a bug/feature in git? BTW1 Repo is very large but contains only one really large file with 1.2GB; all other files are smaller than 256MB. BTW2 I cannot use 1.7.10 due to the http authorization bug. --- Thomas -- 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
