After running make cleandir twice, buildworld still failed with
the same "failed assertion" error.

Running
git pull --rebase
reported 
Updating 63bd2416ccd..455426da078 with no apparent errors
and a return to the shell prompt. Meanwhile, top continues
to show git activity, some minutes later amounting to  over
one GB of memory use, 66MB of swap use and ~80% of one core
in use. After a few more minutes memory use grew to 1.2 GB,
but %CPU is lower, ~10-20%.  


Top does not show any flags applied to git, and a
ps -aux | grep git
reports only the "grep git" process, nothing else.

It's very likely that at some point I started buildworld 
while git was similarly active. 

Am I correct thinking this would be a bad thing?
