Huge memory consumption during 'git push'

I uses PowerBook G4 with 1GB RAM. If I try to do git push I get low memory message. I added to git global config these options:

Code:
```
[core]
    packedGitLimit = 2m
    packedGitWindowSize = 2m
[pack]
    windowMemory = 2m
    deltaCacheSize = 1
    packSizeLimit = 2m
    threads = 1
    window = 0
    depth = 1
```
I noticed that memory consumtion is lower (no message). Unfortunately I sill can't do git push.
After git push -v I see in CLI:
Code:
```
Pushing to /Files/MDW/dev/git_test_3_clone/../git_test_3/
Enumerating objects: 1, done.
Counting objects: 100% (1/1), done.
Writing objects: 100% (1/1), 189 bytes | 23.00 KiB/s, done.
Total 1 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
```
It taken about 350MB of memory and the operation is not finished.

Could someone help me? What can I do for use git under MorphOS?
This is very important for me. I though git for MorphOS is usable. I am a bit disappointed...

Some extra details about the repo you're trying to push to might help. It certainly does work well for github.

Now I am testing MorphOS version of git. I just wanted to check if the git works. I create a repository with random sourcecode (not mine), clone locally on my computer (from one folder to another folder). I create empty commit and try to push it to "remote". It is not huge repository (12MB).
Do you think cause of the problem is in this repository?
I will try to use another code.

Not sure we have ever tested a filesystem 2 filesystem scenario - I certainly haven't.

I compared the behaviour with git on macOS. In this case behaviour on macOS is a bit different. Git on macOS shows an error-message, git on MorphOS couldn't stop the operation and return allocated memory.
However I probably not correctly configured this test pseudo-remote 'BARE' repository. 😂 It could be reason of the problem. I will learn more about git, check it and inform you there. 😃

Memory consumption of the git can be set to lower. It works correctly.

I have checked repository config again. Unfortunately I don't know why it doesn't work. The same operations on macOS (Catalina) work.

I add "bare" remote repository to my project local git:
Code:

Files:MDW/dev/git_test_3> git remote add origin /Files:MDW/dev/git_test_3_server_repo.git/

Check if the remote repository is aded:
Code:

Files:MDW/dev/git_test_3> git remote
origin

Show more details about the origin:
Code:

Files:MDW/dev/git_test_3> git remote show origin
* remote origin
  Fetch URL: /Files:MDW/dev/git_test_3_server_repo.git
  Push  URL: /Files:MDW/dev/git_test_3_server_repo.git
  HEAD branch: (unknown)

Files:MDW/dev/git_test_3/.git/config contains:
Code:

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    ignorecase = true
[diff]
    tool = kompare
[remote "origin"]
    url = /Files:MDW/dev/git_test_3_server_repo.git/
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

However if I try to map master to origin (-u):
Code:

Files:MDW/dev/git_test_3> git push origin master -u
Enumerating objects: 323, done.
Counting objects: 100% (323/323), done.
Writing objects: 100% (323/323), 3.39 MiB | 1.26 MiB/s, done.
Total 323 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0

the process uses about 350MB and stops.

I am not sure how the url (Files:MDW/dev/git_test_3_server_repo.git/) should looks.
If I use "Files:MDW/dev/git_test_3_server_repo.git/" there is error message.
If I add "/" before the path, no error, remote exists, I see details of the remote. However push freezes (not crash, just stop).

You are right. I have just checked - everything works well if I use GitHub.

It is interesting why the problem occurs if I use a folder on my HDD as "remote" repository. It works on git for macOS.

You are right. I have just checked - everything works very well if I use GitHub.
