I'm using this config file:
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
        packedGitWindowSize = 1M
        packedGitLimit = 1M
        deltaBaseCacheLimit = 1M
[pack]
        windowMemory = 1M
        deltaCacheSize = 1M
And I have NO_MMAP compiled in.

git is still using over 200MB of memory or address space, my process gets killed either way.

Ideas on how to reduce the foot print more?
