I tried issuing 'darcs init --old-fashioned-inventory', but on issuing
'darcs record -a' for the first patch, I got:

darcs: out of memory (requested 1048576 bytes)

So, the problem remains.

Does anyone know what I can do to work around the problem in the short
term?  I am Haskell-savvy (can make code-level modifications to Darcs
if necessary), and I'm willing to spend a little bit of time on this
before trying Mercurial.
