Subject: git-p4 out of memory for very large repository
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 21:12:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130823011245.GA7693@jerec> (raw)

Hello,

Has anyone actually gotten git-p4 to clone a large Perforce repository?
I have one codebase in particular that gets to about 67%, then
consistently gets get-fast-import (and often times a few other
processes) killed by the OOM killer.

I've found some patches out there that claim to resolve this, but
they're all for versions of git-p4.py from several years ago.  Not only
will they not apply cleanly, but as far as I can tell the issues that
these patches are meant to address aren't in the current version,
anyway.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Corey
