This file is checked into git, but using a smudge/clean filter, so the actual data checked into git is a hash. I did so using git-annex v7 mode, but I suppose git lfs would cause the same problem. [pid 6573] mmap(NULL, 11811164160, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory) Why status needs to mmap a large file that is not modified and that is configured to pass through smudge/clean, I don't know. It seems like it should be possible for status work in this situation. -- see shy jo
