Subject: git tag triggers out-of-memory killer
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2022 15:31:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220711153135.35b1b135.olaf@aepfle.de> (raw)

What knobs exist inside git to restrict the amount of memory for each individual git process?

Running a large number of "git tag --sort=taggerdate --contains " processes in parallel triggers the OOM killer because each one allocates more than one gigabyte resident memory.

I tried to set all knobs from git-config(1) that appear to be related to memory usage, but nothing seems to have an effect.


Thanks,
Olaf
