Subject: git doesn't like big files when pushing
Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2006 14:08:02 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060301220802.GA18250@kroah.com> (raw)
I have a mail archive stored with git, in mbox form, and I made some
changes to a few of the files and checked them back in.
That worked fine, but when I went to push the stuff to my server, I got
the following errors:
$ git push origin
updating 'refs/heads/master'
from 490badd9bec9ada3a21be275c97fb2a3a390f49e
to 16be8985abc8a9c89ad2cc8f46a0d8e9786e832f
Generating pack...
Done counting 8 objects.
Deltifying 8 objects.
fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed
fatal: early EOF
unpack unpacker exited with error code
ng refs/heads/master n/a (unpacker error)
And here are the file sizes of the files that were changed:
$ ls -lh linux-usb-devel.save.200*
-rw-r--r-- 1 greg users 41M Jan 6 14:30 linux-usb-devel.save.2001
-rw-r--r-- 1 greg users 80M Jan 6 14:30 linux-usb-devel.save.2002
-rw-r--r-- 1 greg users 74M Jan 6 14:30 linux-usb-devel.save.2003
-rw-r--r-- 1 greg users 99M Jan 6 14:30 linux-usb-devel.save.2004
-rw-r--r-- 1 greg users 89M Jan 6 14:30 linux-usb-devel.save.2005
So, am I just foolish for trying to use git for this? Should I just go
back to using rsync to back stuff like this up with?
thanks,
greg k-h
