Subject: file descriptor leak? or expected behavior?
Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2005 16:58:39 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <dd9dee136a573d72fc7332373cfd8ac1@freescale.com> (raw)

Folks,

My apologies if this is a known issue/question - I've searched the list 
and haven't found anything about this, but given the volume of traffic, 
it's easy to miss things.....

I grabbed 0.99.9g this morning, and tried to clone Paul Mackerras' 
linux merge tree. The clone failed and reported errors in http-fetch 
with a bunch of messages of the form:

error: Couldn't create temporary file 
.git/objects/04/48fa7de8a416a48cd1977f29858be54e67c078.temp for .git
/objects/04/48fa7de8a416a48cd1977f29858be54e67c078: Error 24: Too many 
open files

I did some experimenting, and it looks like this crops up somewhere 
between git versions  0.99.8f and 0.99.9a.  My question is, is git 
expected to try to open huge numbers of files, or is this a fd leak? I 
cranked up my ulimit, and am still unable to successfully clone this 
tree, although it fails differently (tail end of output....):

progress: 22 objects, 56146 bytes
Also look at

The command I ran, and the tree I tried to clone are:
