Looking closer, I see that the memory suckers do appear to be git, from
dmesg:

Out of Memory: Kill process 17230 (git-repack) score 97207 and children.
Out of memory: Killed process 17231 (git-rev-list).

That would mean that you do have Linus' patch then. Grep cvsimport for
repack and remove the -a -- and consider using his recent patch to
rev-list.

You certainly would think so, and I did as well, but available evidence
indicates otherwise. I'm not sure how the repack got in there.

donnie@supernova ~ $ type git-cvsimport
git-cvsimport is /usr/bin/git-cvsimport
donnie@supernova ~ $ grep repack /usr/bin/git-cvsimport
donnie@supernova ~ $

All I can think of is that I somehow OOM'd when I manually ran a repack
and didn't notice it. But that should've at least made me unable to
resume the cvsimport process, which happily kept chugging along later on.

My dmesg talks about an earlier cvs segfault. Nasty tree you have here
-- it's breaking all sorts of things... and teaching us a thing or two
about the import process.

Hmmm? How can you be at patch 249100 and still be a good year ahead of
me? Have you told cvsps to cut off old history?

Nope. I ran the exact cvsps flags you posted earlier to create it.

Thanks,
