In our production sourcegraph.com cluster we are regularly seeing git grow to over 9GB in size leading to OOMs. Once we disabled this flag the OOMs went away. For now lets default this feature to off until it is resolved.

@clemlesne I am disabling this feature for now. However, we will look into why git is OOMing and will dig in more to see if I can share a reproduction. For now we also have this potential change which hopefully fixes the problem. But yeah, I haven't actually tested it yet. #1039 |
