Hrm, setting diff.renamelimit to 0 lets me reproduce (I thought I tried it before, but clearly not...). The culprit seems to be diffcore-rename.c:476: mx = xmalloc(sizeof(*mx) * num_create * num_src); Where that ends up allocating about 450M. I think this is exactly the sort of case that renamelimit was introduced to address. -Peff - 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
