Subject: git gc - out of memory
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:26:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <df1390cc0911141126w1a0c5691p83885053a73f829@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
My bare repository is on an OpenBSD machine.
I was unaware of the importance of git gc until today
after investigating a problem with "git pull".
So there hasn't been run git gc on the repository ever.
The biggest file in the repository is a 45 mb file.
The repository size is near 2 gb.
What can I do?
$ git gc
Counting objects: 5934, done.
warning: suboptimal pack - out of memory
fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed8)
error: failed to run repack
$ git --version

Below is the "git pull" problem I'm having. I think its caused
by the former problem. When pulling it dies because of malloc failure.
prompt> git pull
remote: Counting objects: 280, done.
remote: fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed
error: git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error.
fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption
