The kernel repo has the same problem but not nearly as bad. Starting from a default pack git repack -a -d -f --depth=1000 --window=1000 Uses 1GB of physical memory Now do the command again. git repack -a -d -f --depth=1000 --window=1000 Uses 1.3GB of physical memory
With my repo that contains a bunch of 50MB tarfiles, I've found I must specify --window-memory as well to keep repack from using nearly unbounded amounts of memory. Perhaps it is the larger files found in gcc that provokes this. A window size of 1000 can take a lot of memory if the objects are large.
