+bzr-svn can use a lot of memory cloning big branches when older 
+versions of the python-subversion bindings are used. This memory leak 
+has been fixed in the trunk of Subversion (r28544) and has been 
+proposed for inclusion in Subversion 1.4.7.
+
+One way to work around this problem is to Ctrl+C the branch operation 
 and restart it.

-bzr-svn can use a lot of memory cloning big branches. The problem appears to be 
-caused both by a memory leak in the python-subversion bindings or Subversion
