workaround for large files?

[knubee]

Until bug 109114 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/109114) is addressed, are
there any workarounds for committing large files -- other than a) buy more ram,
 b) break the large files into smaller ones, or c) don't include those large files.

Sometimes those are not viable options.

I have 1gb of ram and was unable to do an initial local commit of a 100mb file. 

Otherwise, I see that the bug above has been rated medium importance for about
10 months. Any chance of this being resolved soon?

thanks, k
