Dear Git group,
I use Git at a web hosting service, where my user has a memory limit of 768
MB:
(uiserver):p7715773:~$ uname -a
Linux infongp-de15 3.14.0-ui16322-uiabi1-infong-amd64 #1 SMP Debian
3.14.79-2~ui80+4 (2016-11-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux
(uiserver):p7715773:~$ git --version
git version 2.1.4
The problem is that `git status` fails with an out of memory error:
(uiserver):p7715773:~/cafu$ git status
fatal: Out of memory, realloc failed
fatal: recursion detected in die handler
I talked to their support and their suggestion was to set a couple of
memory constraints and to run `git gc`. This seemed to work well – but `git
status` still fails:
(uiserver):p7715773:~/cafu$ cat ~/.gitconfig
[color]
ui = auto
[user]
name = Carsten Fuchs
email = [email protected]
[core]
editor = nano
pager = less -M -FRXS
packedgitwindowsize = 30m
packedgitlimit = 40m
[i18n]
commitEncoding = ISO-8859-1
[pack]
threads = 1
windowMemory = 10m
packSizeLimit = 20m
deltaCacheSize = 30m
(uiserver):p7715773:~/cafu$ git gc
Zähle Objekte: 44293, Fertig.
Komprimiere Objekte: 100% (24534/24534), Fertig.
Schreibe Objekte: 100% (44293/44293), Fertig.
Total 44293 (delta 17560), reused 41828 (delta 16708)
(uiserver):p7715773:~/cafu$ git status
fatal: Out of memory, realloc failed
fatal: recursion detected in die handler
Well, their next response was that they have no solution for me – except,
unsurprisingly, coaxing me into a more expensive hosting package.
I've read the Git man page about `git config`, but was not able to come up
with anything to improve the situation.
Any ideas what I could do to reduce the memory consumption of `git status`?
Best regards,
Carsten
