git dies after calling the following command on the git repo:

I wouldn't be surprised anything random happens when --first-parent
is used together with simplify_merges(); the function needs full
analysis of all commits in the specified range, and first-parent
traversal specifically tells us not to descend into other parents.
It might not be a bad idea to forbid this combination when the
command line options are parsed.
What information were you trying to get out of the above command?
I was using gitk and I tried to simplify the history a bit, just for
visualization,... so I tried by checking "Limit to first parent" and
"Simple history". Then, git errored out with an out-of-memory error.
