Answer 1

Complementing the @Mark Longair's answer:

I had to run the following commands to fix this issue:

git config --global pack.windowMemory "100m"
git config --global pack.packSizeLimit "100m"
git config --global pack.threads "1" 
git config --global pack.deltaCacheSize "512m"

You can see more about these commands in the git documentation git config.
