Re: gc getting called on each git command ... what's wrong?

Why did you set packSizeLimit at all?

Some time ago (31/8/2010) I had a problem which seemed to be caused by
large packs (>4GB), you
can find it in the git list with a subject of "Large pack causes git
clone failures ... what to do?"

Anyway, I set packSizeLimit and fiddled around for a bit ...
eventually the problem went
away when I moved the central repository to another machine with less load and
more memory. At which point I gave a sigh of relief and forgot to
remove the packSizeLimit
until recently bitten. But the original problem was probably nothing
to do with large
packs and hasn't recurred.

Cheers,
Geoff.
