I set the value on both (Laptop and NAS) and got the following error:
Counting objects: 13051, done.
Delta compression using up to 2 threads.
warning: suboptimal pack - out of memory
Compressing objects: 100% (9848/9848), done.
error: index-pack died of signal 9), 1.27 GiB | 308 KiB/s
error: pack-objects died of signal 13
error: pack-objects died with strange error
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://...'

Any ideas?
