Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is in the Maintenance Support 2 Phase. During the Maintenance Support 2 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here: http://redhat.com/rhel/lifecycle This issue does not meet the inclusion criteria for the Maintenance Support 2 Phase and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification. Red Hat Customer Support can be contacted via the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following URL: https://access.redhat.com * Thank you and the redhat team for processing this bug report so quickly. * My reason to report this bug, has just been, if someone else has a problem of this kind, it is not necessary, that someone else (e.g. from redhat) has to dig again for hours in the source code, to fix the problem (ok. maybe the redhat team works faster than I do ...).

We are grateful for your contribution. Your patch looks correct. But RHEL 6 is in the Maintenance Support 2 Phase, which means we make fixes for critical CVEs and other important fixes submitted through customer portal. |
Created attachment 1689723 [details] Patch that must be applied to "'config.c" (and then re-"make"...) Description of problem: If "core.packedGitLimit" is set to to 2g(e.g.) or greater(in any case) it has no effect anymore --> the physical memory, that git uses, may grow until git or other processes are killed due to memory overflow. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): At least (I come from CentOS, so, maybe the version# is not exact) 1.7.1.10.el6... and (so I guess) any older version. How reproducible / Steps to Reproduce 'you must have opened enough packages / a package that is big enough'. <-- but why bother with this; according to my patch, the possible occurrence of the bug is evident. Actual results: see e.g. "Description of problem" <-- but why bother... Additional info: In e.g. upstream version 2.26.2 the problem is solved exactly in the same way as my patch does.
