aaah, perhaps this is a better option ->  https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/issues/519


leave git multi-threading on, but force some memory limits, with a ~/.gitconfig file like this...

[core]
  packedGitLimit = 128m
  packedGitWindowSize = 128m

[pack]
  deltaCacheSize = 128m
  packSizeLimit = 128m
  windowMemory = 128m
