Hi,
I used to run 'git clone --depth=1' to get kernel source, because this way is very lightweight. But today, I want to clone the whole git repository with 'git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git'
Then, I encounter a problem.
The output is :
Cloning into 'linux-stable'... remote: Counting objects: 5531619, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (492978/492978), done. error: index-pack died of signal 9531619), 777.26 MiB | 19.22 MiB/s fatal: index-pack failed
I do this on my VPS which has 768M memory. Is it because the memory is not enough? If so, is it possible to limit the memory usage of Git?
Hi Hao, Definatly looks like memory limit, I have the same issue when cloning on android devices. You can use git config file to limit the memory used by git for various operations: https://support.google.com/mail/accounts/answer/78754 Cheers, Craig
Thanks! Hao Lee
