I keep having git-repack run out of virtual memory ( 32 bit system )
when trying to repack my linux kernel repo. It keeps making it right up
to 99% then barfing saying mmap failed: Cannot allocate memory.
I thought I could help this by limiting the pack size, and using
--window-memory to limit the memory usage, but it still happens with
this full command line:
git repack -a -d --max-pack-size=500m -f -F --depth=20 --window=250
--window-memory=500m
The key factor seems to be the --window... with 50 it works fine, but
with 100 or more, even with the very low --window-memory limit, it crashes.
