Gentlemen,

I try to run "git gc" on linux kernel tree. The virtual memory keeps going up until over 3GB, then crash. Tried twice with the v1.6.0.2, same result. Then I used the git coming with FC9 (v1.5.5.1), the peak virutal memory usage is about 1.5GB. "git gc" finished without any trouble. 

Could there be a memory leak in v1.6.0.2?

Thanks, Guo
