I got this error in a quite big (in files) repository: error: open("vnexpress.net/Suc-khoe/2001/04/3B9AF976"): Too many open files in system fatal: cannot hash vnexpress.net/Suc-khoe/2001/04/3B9AF976

The repository contained about 67.000 files and probably all were modified. git version 1.4.4.rc1.g2bba
