Merge eats memory

[Michael Ellerman]

Hey Aaron,

I haven't had a chance to look at your merge code yet, but it works nicely on 
small trees. A loaded compliment I know :D

I've just tried merging the last day or so's git commits, which is about 900K 
of diff, and it's not happy.

Casual observation of top showed bzr using up to 700M of memory. I've heard 
bad things about Python's heap allocator so it may not be your fault, but 
we'll have to look into it at some point.

cheers
