Hi All,
I have a cvs repository I try to convert to git. I have used cvs2git (1 week old) to get the dumps from cvs. To be able to do the fast-import import into the new git. I had to use a bigger machine than mine (the big is 64bits, 8GB ram, mine is 32bits,4GB ram) because on my machine git ran out of memory. Once converted, I tried to do a clone, it ran out of memory on my machine.
- version used for gitc - on my machine : 1.6.6.1 - on the big machine : 1.5.6.5 (debian lenny)
- Here's the list of the commands that failed out of memory (stop at 2.7GB memory consumed): git for-each-ref git rev-list --branches --tags
- this command succeeded : git rev-list --branches (80MB consumed)
- some packing have been done : git repack -a -d -f git pack-ref --all (on the big machine, it fails on mine)
after the git commands keep failing out of memory, 'git rev-list --branches' included.
- there is 2159 refs in the repository.
- git count-objects -v gives :
count: 0 size: 0 in-pack: 133986 packs: 1 size-pack: 365678 prune-packable: 0 garbage: 0
- I still have a copy of the cvs and git repositories for testing.
Thanks in advance for any help, Frédéric Heulin.
