After some time EGit starts to fill the Eclipse Error Log with the following:

java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=en_US
Framework arguments:  -product org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
Command-line arguments:  -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product

Errors occurred while applying Git decorations to resources.

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Resource could not be decorated
at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.decorators.GitLightweightDecorator.prepareDecoration(GitLightweightDecorator.java:314)
at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.decorators.GitLightweightDecorator.processDecoration(GitLightweightDecorator.java:276)
at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.decorators.GitDecoratorJob.run(GitDecoratorJob.java:85)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54)


... Eventually Eclipse runs out of memory and grinds to a halt as it constantly runs the garbage collector.
