What can I do?

run « git repack -adf --window=memory » on the repo where memory is
escaled apropiately for your machine ?

Thank you Alejandro, it now works!

I think the default is 10, so I tried with window=5 and
it completed a full repack.

$ git repack -adf --window=5

Now that it works..
Should I report the original issue as a bug somewhere?
e.g. malloc failed sounds like a bug.
