Looking closer, I see that the memory suckers do appear to be git, from dmesg: Out of Memory: Kill process 17230 (git-repack) score 97207 and children. Out of memory: Killed process 17231 (git-rev-list).

Now _this_ explains why cvsimport grows humongous. I wasn't running with a version that did repacks; I just suspended the cvsimport a couple of times and ran a repack manually. > I'll try to rework the commit loop so that we don't need to hold all > the filenames in memory.
