gc --auto: exclude base pack if not enough mem to "repack -ad" pack-objects could be a big memory hog especially on large repos, everybody knows that. The suggestion to stick a .keep file on the giant base pack to avoid this problem is also known for a long time. Recent patches add an option to do just this, but it has to be either configured or activated manually. This patch lets `git gc --auto` activate this mode automatically when it thinks `repack -ad` will use a lot of memory and start affecting the system due to swapping or flushing OS cache. gc --auto decides to do this based on an estimation of pack-objects memory usage, which is quite accurate at least for the heap part, and whether that fits in half of system memory (the assumption here is for desktop environment where there are many other applications running). This mechanism only kicks in if gc.bigBasePackThreshold is not configured. If it is, it is assumed that the user already knows what they want.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
