bzr-svn fetching all revisions even though -r 500 passed to branch command

Hi,
I tried branching our subversion repository with bzr-svn. I know there
is a memory usage issue with the subversion libraries so I tried the
workaround previously mentioned of passing -r 500 to the branch command.
bzr-svn still tried to fetch all subversion revisions even though I
passed this option and of course my computer ran out of memory. This
means that it is currently impossible to branch any reasonable sized svn
repo. As a workaround I can ctrl-c it every 2000 revisions and then
start it again and it seems to carry on where it left off.
Is there a better way to do this? Would it be possible to code a
workaround in bzr-svn so that it only fetches revisions in blocks of 500
or so to get around the svn memory leaks?
