Description

Hello,
I have moved a ~600MB repository with my Mac with success, however, when I try to clone that same repository on my Windows machine, the git clone stops halfway through with no apparent reason. The only thing that I noticed might be a problem is a rampant memory usage by the git-remote module. Here is how the console looks like after a failed clone:

C:\Users\WallE256>git clone keybase://team/ichb_ftc_dev/robovamps_app
Cloning into 'robovamps_app'...
Initializing Keybase... done.
Syncing with Keybase... done.
Counting: 599.43 MB... done.
Cryptographic cloning: (47.31%) 283.57/599.43 MB...
C:\Users\WallE256>

Let me know if I can provide any additional information.
Thanks.

Research direction

Reproduce git clone keybase://team/ichb_ftc_dev/robovamps_app on Windows using the reported log id and observe memory use during cryptographic cloning. Start by tracing the git-remote component mentioned in the report; the issue is done when the repository clones past the reported 47.31% point without failing.
