Git import of cvs2git dumpfile

Hello,

I have successfully migrated my 13GB cvs repository with cvs2git. But now I
get an out-of-memory error by using the git fast-import:

fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed (tried to allocate **6196691 bytes**)
fast-import: dumping crash report to fast_import_crash_13097
error: git-fast-import died of signal 11

I have already tried to unlimit stacksize and file descriptors.
Also I have searched for the biggest file in the repository: 130MB.

My System has 32 GB RAM and 40GB Swap, the dump file is 72GB and the
blob file 10GB big. I am running the import on a RHEL5.3 with
Git 1.8.3.4, Python 2.6.8, GCC44.

I have read in an older post that it is maybe possible

to split the dump file into smaller pieces. How is this possible?

Can someone please give me an hint?

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,

Fabian
