Hi All,

I compiled a fresh git 1.5.4 and tried to clone Ingo's kgdb-lite tree. I got rather strange out of memory. malloc failed7 error.

I am using a 32 bit kernel on a pentium D processor with 1 GB of ram.

Is this a git issue or something else? Can someone help me in telling me which is the correct place to report this? Better if this is a known issue ?

isn't 1 GB of RAM enough for git???

luser@helvella:/opt/repo/archive$ sudo git-clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/linux-2.6-kgdb.git [sudo] password for luser: Initialized empty Git repository in /opt/repo/archive/linux-2.6-kgdb/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 712950, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (124251/124251), done. remote: Total 712950 (delta 591747), reused 708812 (delta 587713) Receiving objects: 100% (712950/712950), 173.74 MiB | 40 KiB/s, done. fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed7) fatal: index-pack failed fetch-pack from 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/linux-2.6-kgdb.git' failed.
