Subject: Large repo and pack.packsizelimit
Date: Thu, 3 May 2012 13:57:58 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <37267143.413194.1336046278583.JavaMail.ngmail@webmail07.arcor-online.net> (raw)
Hello,
I am using MSysgit 1.7.9 on WinXP 32bit and have a very large repo (10GB in .git; 20GB in source tree).
I had to set pack.packsizelimit=1024MB to prevent "out of memory" during repacking in git-gc
and everything seemed to work fine.
When I tried to clone this repo an "out of memory" occured because the packs to be transferred
by the git protocol are not limited by pack.packsizelimit. I "fixed" this by setting transfer.unpackLimit=100000
and thus transferring only loose objects. This is very slow but it works.
In this cloned repo now git-gc again causes "out of memory" because it tries to pack all loose
objects in one go thereby seemingly not respecting pack.packsizelimit ...
(Setting --window-memory=512m in git-repack did not help here.)
Am I doing anything wrong here or is this a bug/feature in git?
BTW1 Repo is very large but contains only one really large file with 1.2GB; all other files are smaller than 256MB.
BTW2 I cannot use 1.7.10 due to the http authorization bug.
