   Ding...

   The hash-object error message sounds like the issue that was fixed with
   915308b (avoid 31-bit truncation in write_loose_object, 2009-01-29).  Does
   v1.6.2-rc1 help?

ams@trillian:~/# git --version git version 1.6.2.rc1 ams@trillian:~/# git svn clone REPO -T trunk -b branches -t tags [...] fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: Cannot allocate memory hash-object -w --stdin-paths: command returned error: 128

Nope, behaves the same way.

I'll try adding more swap and see what happens...

Thanks for the help.
