hoi :) I created a git repository for my photo collection and then renamed some photos (about 600). Now git status and commit get hit by the OOM killer. The reason for that is that is_exact_match (in diffcore-rename.c) maps both the source and destination file into memory and then compares them byte for byte. This is a little bit too much for my little machine. When I remove the content comparation and only leave the sha1 comparision, then my renames are correctly found in a second. But unluckily, some other renames in the testcases are not correctly handled any more. So is there an easy solution? Why is the content comparision in is_exact_match needed? -- Martin Waitz - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
