I don't use Git enough to exercise it well.  And there are dozens of
commands with hundreds of options.

As someone else has noted, if I run 'git commit -q --no-status', it
doesn't crash.

It seems that much of Git was coded under the assumption that any file
could always be held entirely in RAM.  Who made that mistake?  Are
people so out of touch with reality?
