I'm using Git for a project that contains huge (multi-gigabyte) files. I need to track these files, but with some of the really big ones, git-add aborts with the message "fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed". Also, git-gc sometimes fails because it can't allocate enough memory. I've been using the "--window-memory" option to git- repack to work around the git-gc problem, but I don't know of a similar trick for git-add. Is there any way (aside from adding more memory, of course) that I can deal with these huge files? I'm using git 1.5.6.2 on Debian 4.0. Thanks in advance.
