Description
git 2.11.0-2 fsck fails with
fatal: mmap failed: Too many open files for large repositories.
The fix is probably a call to DosSetRelMaxFH in response to ERROR_TOO_MANY_OPEN_FILES near mmapc near line 494.
The testcase is
git fsck
on any relatively large repo. The samba repo and the suitecrm repo are large enough to fail.

Limited testing on several large repos seems to indicate that the updated libcx resolves the out of handles issue.
The only failure so far has been:
git fsck
Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
error: .git/objects/pack/pack-cd24ed4ac81ffd757d24bc2de5290534c4c13f09.pack SHA1 checksum mismatch
error: .git/objects/pack/pack-cd24ed4ac81ffd757d24bc2de5290534c4c13f09.pack SHA1 does not match its index
Checking objects: 100% (47689/47689), done.
error: bad signature
fatal: index file corrupt
This occurred because memory was too fragmented. Shutting down restarting firefox cleared up enough fragmentation that fsck was able to run.

So I'm closing this as fixed. If it occurs again please reopen.
did you eventually retest with latest libcx?
