Hello, I would like to report that GIT failed to checkout the linux kernel on a 6 GB system.
For now I believe it ran out of memory. I only tried once. PAGEFILE.SYS on this system was disabled. Apperently GIT relies on PAGEFILE.SYS to cover any out of memory situations. This kinda sucks. My recommendation is to disable PAGEFILE.SYS on your system, or try removing some RAM chips. And then try and checkout the linux kernel yourself to see how GIT fails to checkout. Also displaying a LOG seemed to consume also a lot of RAM. I am not exactly sure why GIT needs so much memory. Perhaps it's a unzipping issue or a delta-ing issue, not sure. But it would be nice if GIT can do it's operations in batches/chunks/pieces of memory. Gradually so it can handle any database size. Right now it seems to be limited to the ammount of system RAM/virtual memory available. Bye for now, Skybuck. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
