Have you tried any of the "git config" options? http://linux.die.net/man/1/git-config
You might try setting one or more of the following with a git config --global command. No guarantees that any of them will help. Just a wild guess on my part. <quote> core.packedGitWindowSize Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a single mapping operation. Larger window sizes may allow your system to process a smaller number of large pack files more quickly. Smaller window sizes will negatively affect performance due to increased calls to the operating system's memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing a large number of large pack files. Default is 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems. You probably do not need to adjust this value. Common unit suffixes of k, m, or g are supported. === core.packedGitLimit Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory from pack files. If Git needs to access more than this many bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process. Default is 256 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 8 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects. You probably do not need to adjust this value. Common unit suffixes of k, m, or g are supported. === core.deltaBaseCacheLimit Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects that multiple deltafied objects reference. By storing the entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base objects multiple times. Default is 16 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects. You probably do not need to adjust this value. Common unit suffixes of k, m, or g are supported. === pack.windowMemory The window memory size limit used by git-pack-objects(1) when no limit is given on the command line. The value can be suffixed with "k", "m", or "g". Defaults to 0, meaning no limit. === pack.deltaCacheSize The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in git-pack-objects(1) before writing them out to a pack. This cache is used to speed up the writing object phase by not having to recompute the final delta result once the best match for all objects is found. Repacking large repositories on machines which are tight with memory might be badly impacted by this though, especially if this cache pushes the system into swapping. A value of 0 means no limit. The smallest size of 1 byte may be used to virtually disable this cache. Defaults to 256 MiB. === On Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 6:17 AM, Igor Kazarnovskiy < igor.kazarnovs...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Morning :) > > I have a problem cloning a large GIT repository on a windows XP (32-bit) > machine.
