What's happening here?

 git add *
fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed

It's a VM with 1GB RAM but no swap:
 free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1048576     306168     742408          0          0          0
- -/+ buffers/cache:     306168     742408
Swap:            0          0          0

I am NOT happy!
