I am trying to cut down the size of a currently 11GB repository (.git itself is 3.9GB, the rest is 7.1GB), and git gc
has worked okay (that brought it down from 14GB originally), but when I try git gc --aggressive
to go further:
root@host:/path/to/repo# git gc --aggressive
Counting objects: 221534, done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
error: pack-objects died of signal 99019)
error: failed to run repack
What does signal 99019 mean? I haven't been able to find any documentation for pack-objects returning that code.
