Indexer crashes

Indexer crashes with the lines below

I am using Gitea Version: 34695f4 on Debian Testing

Which version of Git are you using?

[gerroon]

git --version
git version 2.19.1

Debian Buster X64

I have a similar problem: same error message, same status 128. And Gitea is then taking up 44% of my whole RAM!
This is after changing from:

• git 2.18.0(-1)
• gitea 1.5.1(-1)

to:

• git 2.19.1(-1)
• gitea 1.5.3(-3)

on Archlinux, with my Ansible configuration applied to app.ini.sample from upstream Gitea.

Please ask for details if you need more.

Same here on RHEL:

updateRepoIndexer: exit status 128 - error: unable to find XXX fatal: git cat-file XXX: bad file

• git version 1.8.3.1
• gitea 1.5.3

[MarkusAmshove]

Same after updating from 1.5.1 to 1.6.0:

• SLES 12
• git version 2.12.3
• gitea 1.6.0

[laoshaw]

Same, using 1.6.0, debian 9 64bit, git 2.17.1

same, using 1.6.1, rhel 7.5 X86_64bit, git 2.14.1

[MarkusAmshove]

This is still present in 1.7 for me

[gerroon]

The indexer seems to be a bit useless with big repos :(

[tYYGH]

As things stand, it is also useless with little repos, because you have to disable it to keep it from eating all your RAM :-/

[laoshaw]

indexing and searching are essential to code related work, any way to improve this in gitea, as far as I can tell, this is the only obvious weak area at the moment.

[lunny]

@laoshaw Yes, that needs more work.
