Hi Nicolas,

I've tried only --window-memory with different values and they all
failed. It seems to me as though this option is simply ignored or
non-existent.

The tar files aggregate to just under 2 GB and my complete working
tree is around 3 GB. Whenever I run git-gc or git-repack they seem to
reach a virtual mem. footprint of roughly 2.5 GB over the course of 10
minutes and then fail with the out-of-memory error.
