+\"git annex sync\" or \"git annex fsck\" gives me the same problem.  This is an annex which has previously been running with the git annex assistant.
+
+Output is first:
+
+    $ git annex sync
+    (merging synced/git-annex into git-annex...)
+
+…then the workstation starts swapping, and after eating 16 GB RAM, and all of 16 GB swap, OOM killer komes for \"git\".
+
+The process which eats up all the memory is:
+
+    git --git-dir=/home/ssm/annex/.git --work-tree=/home/ssm/annex \
+      -c core.bare=false log \
+      7bed443dc22961214f86e65aedb8861affd215d3..refs/heads/git-annex \
+      -n1 --pretty=%H
+
+I _think_ that since a \"-n1\" argument is given, it will only show the log for the last commit in the range, and one could specify \"refs/heads/git-annex\" instead of the range.  With just \"refs/heads/git-annex\" instead of the range, it returns a reference instantly.
+
+The output of git count-objects is
+
+    $ git count-objects -H -v
+    count: 334758
+    size: 6.27 GiB
+    in-pack: 16600
+    packs: 1
+    size-pack: 1.70 MiB
+    prune-packable: 0
+    garbage: 0
+    size-garbage: 0 bytes
+
+…and there is 1043 files in the annex.
