Sun Chao (my former colleague at Huawei) found a bug of git-pack-redundant. If there are too many packs and many of them overlap each other, running `git pack-redundant --all` will exhaust all memories and the process will be killed by kernel. There is a script in commit log of commit 2/3, which can be used to create a repository with lots of redundant packs. Running `git pack-redundant --all` in it can reproduce this issue. Updates of reroll v3: * Rename test case file from t5322 to t5323, for I see t5322 exist in commit 404dead121: "pack-objects: add --sparse option".
