Memory consumption for DirCacheCheckout [message #1871787]

I have a Git repo that's about 25M in size:

$ du -sb prj1
26878375        prj1

It has about 6700 files in about 1500 folders.

git clone uses about 17M of RAM max:

$ /usr/bin/time -v git clone mygitserver.com/prj1
...
        Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 16532

But jgit (7.0.0) runs out of memory on my microservice with -Xmx256m (it does so even if I do -Xmx350m)

It seems that DirCacheCheckout holds 57M in updated field, and 63M in builder.

Baseline for the microservice is about 85M, so it looks that to checkout this repo jgit needs more than ~160M.

Is there a way to improve memory usage or tell jgit a cache limit??

How can the updated hashmap end up with 271k elements when checking out 6.7k files (folders aren't tracked in the git index) ?
Can you retry and create a heap dump when the OOM strikes and analyze that using memory analyzer ?

This forum and also Bugzilla were deprecated by the Eclipse Foundation and will be shutdown. Hence we moved to
our GitHub mirror at https://github.com/eclipse-jgit/jgit for discussions and issue tracking.
