That would be hard for bzr 0.12. We're working on improving Bazaar to
scale up to repositories of that size or larger.
If you can say more about the character of the repository it would be
interesting, such as
how many files and directories are there in one version of the source
tree?
what's the distribution of individual file sizes - average and
maximum?
how many branches, developers, and commits per day?
how does Subversion do with this load?
