Is there a way to limit the amount of memory that “git gc” uses?

by

I used instructions from this link. Same idea as Charles Baileys suggested.

A copy of the commands is here:

git config --global pack.windowMemory "100m"
git config --global pack.packSizeLimit "100m"
git config --global pack.threads "1"

This worked for me on hostgator with shared hosting account.
