Thanks for the report. Do you know how much memory was in use when it
failed?

At this point, we have focused on supporting versioning source code, and
making that fast. So we have the explicit requirement that we can hold 3
copies of a file in memory. (base, this, other for merging).

For commit, we expect to have at least 2 copies (and possibly a bit more
if you have a lot of deltas.

It shouldn't need to have that many copies of all the files at the same
time, so if it does we need to fix that.
