Re: git-fast-export is returning streams with source code inside

Hi Peff,

I've attached the valgrind.out file. If I'm reading the output
properly, it does look like it is suffering from a memory leak.

Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid I won't be able to allow you access
to repo as it is for a business project and covered by NDAs, etc. If I
can do anything to help with diagnosing the problem (debug logs, more
excerpts from the stream, etc.) then that shouldn't be a problem.

Since it seems like blob data is making it into the stream in an odd
place, my first guess would be a memory problem. Can you try installing
valgrind (since you are on Ubuntu, there should be a package), and then
running:

 valgrind git fast-export --all >/dev/null 2>valgrind.out

and then sharing the results of valgrind.out?
