One of the revisions in SVN has a 1.25 GB file. When the git svn fetch process gets to this revision, it crashed with the following message: fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed hash-object -w --stdin-paths: command returned error: 128 error closing pipe: Bad file descriptor at /usr/local/libexec/git-core//git-svn line 0 error closing pipe: Bad file descriptor at /usr/local/libexec/git-core//git-svn line 0 This is running on a machine with 3 GB of memory (2.5 GB free before starting git svn), Git 1.6.1, Git-svn 1.6.1(svn 1.5.1) Help would be greatly appreciated.
