As a quick workaround you could try it with a 32bit git executable?
(assuming you have a distribution with proper multilib support)
I think the right fix would be to make git throttle itself (not
use mmap, use very small defaults etc.) on low memory systems.
It could take a look a /proc/meminfo for this.
