I just thought the deltas weren't that bad for my case, as the dump
process produces similar files each time.
In fact, the difference that blew the memory limit is way less than what
extensive hacking can do to a source file:
diff [...] | grep -c '^<'
947
diff [...] | grep -c '^>'
809
But I guess total size matters a lot.

I may try Mercurial. As far as I remember, its user interface is
supposed to be close to Darcs.
Thanks a lot,
