I recently came across a very annoying problem, characterised by the
following example:

On a recent ubuntu install:

dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1300k count=1k
git commit file -m "Add huge file"


The repository can be pulled and pushed successfully to other ubuntu
installs, but on Mac OS X, 10.5.7 machine with 4GB ram git pull
produces:

Do seting `pack.packSizeLimit`, or adjusting values of
`core.packedGitWindowSize` and/or `core.packedGitLimit`
(see git-config(1)) help in your situation?
