Smmap wraps an interface around mmap and tracks the mapped files as well as the amount of clients who use it. If the system runs out of resources, or if a memory limit is reached, it will automatically unload unused maps to allow continued operation. This package is nearly a version bumped ebuild of dev-python/smmap, but the core package's name was changed by upstream. Required to bump dev-python/gitdb (now renamed to gitdb2).
