I'm getting the following error starting with cygwin snapshot 20120214
when running a git command:
$ git add bigfile-test.dll
0 [main] git 7440 D:\dev_apps\cygwin\bin\git.exe: *** fatal error
in forked process - fork: can't reserve memory for stack 0xAD0000 -
0xBD0000, Win32 error 487
623 [main] git 7440 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to
git.exe.stackdump
0 [unknown (0x1BC4)] git 12100 fork: child -1 - forked process
died unexpectedly, retry 0, exit code 256, errno 11
error: cannot fork() for git-bigfile-clean: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot fork to run external filter git-bigfile-clean
error: external filter git-bigfile-clean failed
add 'bigfile-test.dll'
I have a .gitattributes with a line: /bigfile-test* filter=bigfile
AFAICT, my filter is never called.
It doesn't happen all the time but very often (failed 8 times over the
last 10 tries)
Running the command 10 times with cygwin 1.7.10 and the snapshots
20120207, 20120209 and 20120210 worked.
