Something happened to the repo, and 'push origin master' is taking now very long time: > 8 minutes (this is ssh to localhost). It's in git-pack-objects.
The git-pack-objects sits there for >8 minutes using very low cpu (<1 %) but lots of RAM (>300MB). Then it bombs with malloc error. I could add swap to the machine [1], but this long time with low cpu usage is suspicious, no ?
Repo counters are below [2]
I suspect one file, history of which accumulated thousands commits from the script. I'd like to erase the history of this file but I don't know how. And I don't know where there is a connection.

[1] This is vps machine that hasb 128MB ram + 256MB swap.
[2] Repo counters.
- the master repo which is being pushed to (it is bare, the "master" repo): count: 653 size: 140692 in-pack: 21730 packs: 2 prune-packable: 5 garbage: 0
the repo which does the push: count: 369 size: 42960 in-pack: 22145 packs: 4 prune-packable: 9 garbage: 0
Don't ask me about workflow. I synchronize files between four hosts using git. I beleive this is very unusual workflow. No branches.
