I am trying to sync with the Android sources repo and getting an error:

error: index-pack died of signal 9
error: index-pack died
remote: Sending approximately 2.01 GiB ...
remote: Counting objects: 1, done
remote: Finding sources: 100% (20881/20881)
Receiving objects: 100% (20881/20881), 2.00 GiB | 6.11 MiB/s, done.

remote: Total 20881 (delta 14047), reused 20831 (delta 14047)

error: index-pack died of signal 9)

How can I solve this?

9 is defined to be SIGKILL (see the signal(7) manual page), so I suspect you do this on a 32-bit Linux system and possibly the OOM-killer kicks in — your could verify this looking at the dmesg output or reading /var/log/system or /var/log/messages.

To combat this, try playing with the core.packedGitWindowSize and core.packedGitLimit configuration variables.
