Ouch.  Running out of memory while deltifying sounds really bad.

It doen't, since I do not have 8c2fXXXX commit ;-).

I suspect "git push --thin origin" might help, if you are on my
"master" branch:

        diff-tree a79a276... (from 2245be3...)
        Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
        Date:   Mon Feb 20 00:09:41 2006 -0800

            Add git-push --thin.

            Maybe we would want to make this default before it graduates to
            the master branch, but in the meantime to help testing things,
            this allows you to say "git push --thin destination".
