Subject: how to keep git-fetch from running out of memory?
Date: Sat, 14 May 2011 22:24:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTinnOTr+PUzBMpx1DLcxs8CVWjy33A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I have a git repo with some large files that I'm no longer able to
update. git fetch keeps running out of memory:

  fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed
  fatal: unpack-objects died with error code 128

Anybody know how to keep it from compressing the refs into packfiles?
I've experimented with core.compression, pack.compression,
pack.windowMemory, pack.packSizeLimit, all without luck :(
