Re: Git server eats all memory

Hello,

I am running git 1.7.0.4 on Debian stable. I have compiled git from
source. I am cloning using ssh.The client and the server are running
the same version. The bare repository is 4.5G with various binary files,
I have 6G of memory on my server.

I never tried that size myself, but according to what I read on the
mailing list, that should remain within what Git could manage, maybe a
bit painfully.

The standard followup question in your case is: is the repository
fully packed on the server? If not, maybe "git gc" or "git gc
--aggressive" (expansive, but a one-time operation) could help.
