New submission from James Sadler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 'darcs convert' fails on my very large repository > 2000 patches with an 'out of memory' error message (on a machine with 4GB). So I decided to experiment a bit and unpulled all patches except for the very first one in the repo. The first patch is the head of my old subversion repo and is large (150mb).
'darcs convert' still fails with the same error; always an out of memory error. The amount of memory it consumes is > 20X the size of the compressed patch. The contents of the patch are around 600mb (the size of the working tree when the repo only contains the first patch). Quite why darcs requires this amount of memory is a mystery to me; I expect there is a severe memory leak somewhere. This happens on 2.0.0pre2, 2.0.0pre3 and current head of unstable as of 27th Jan 2008. ---------- messages: 2810 nosy: beschmi, droundy, jamesdsadler, kowey, tommy priority: bug status: unread title: 'darcs convert' - 'out of memory' __________________________________ Darcs bug tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.darcs.net/issue622> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list darcs-devel@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
