Now, _that_ is strange. Using 150 instead of 250 brings it down even quicker! $ /usr/bin/time git repack -a -d -f --window=150 --depth=150 Counting objects: 2477715, done. Compressing objects: 19% (481551/2411764) Compressing objects: 19% (482333/2411764) fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed411764) Command exited with non-zero status 1 7118.37user 54.15system 2:01:44elapsed 98%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (29834major+17122977minor)pagefaults 0swaps (I hit the Return key twice during the time I suspected it would go out of memory, so it might have been really at 20%.)
