We probably have to avoid mmap altogether to fix this properly. Alternatively, we could provide a C extension that supported partial mmap's better, but this would likely only work on *nix, not Windows. I'm not aware of any ways to split large pack files, but I'm sure there's some obscure way to do so with C git. :-) > > Anyway, so far I've had a great time with Dulwich, thanks for that :) Glad it's useful :-) > Sorry for bumping my own question, but I get the feeling it fell through some > cracks.
