Re: Out of memory error during git push

Hi

quoted

I'm experiencing the following error while pushing a git repo (home
directory) to my QNAP TS-210:

user@mypc:~$ git push origin master
Counting objects: 12532, done.
Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (8974/8974), done.
fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed, 986.06 MiB | 1.65 MiB/s
error: pack-objects died of signal 13

What version of git are you using?  Do you have overcommit accounting
enabled?

I'm using git version 1.7.0.4 on my Kubuntu 10.04 Laptop and git version
1.7.1.1 on my QNAP NAS.

On my Laptop and on the NAS, when I execute: sudo sysctl vm.overcommit_memory
I get:
vm.overcommit_memory = 0

Do you propose to set this to '2' in order to disable overcommitting? If yes, where (on the Laptop and/or on the NAS)?

Thanks,
Tom
