By the way, in case this looks funny to anyone, this isn't the default message - I added the "Error 24" part because I'm used to looking at error numbers.

This is what the message looks like from an unmodified git:

error: Couldn't create temporary file .git/objects/a0/7e2c9307fa338896ecca300dc88033a8922885.temp for .git/objects/a0/7e2c9307fa338896ecca300dc88033a8922885: Too many open files

Cheers, B
