When "gc --auto --aggressive --prune" android platform/prebuilt.git, i
encountered the following error:
Auto packing the repository for optimum performance.
warning: suboptimal pack - out of memory
fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed
error: failed to run repack
I have 2G free memory available and found the --window and
--window-memory option in git repack. However, i wonder how to compute
the max memory git-repack will use, is it "window * window-memory"?
And what is the best --window and --window-memory option for the 2G
free available memory?

Or "window * windowMemory * threads"?
