MemoryError during commit

[Haoyu Bai]

Hi,

I'm a new user of bazaar. I'd say bazaar is great. But I have a problem now.

With a unbound repo about 2 gigs, I did this:

$ touch test
$ bzr add test
$ bzr ci

After a while of slow down of the whole system (apparently bazaar
consumed all my memory), the following exception occured:

bzr: ERROR: exceptions.MemoryError:

What's wrong? Is that a bug, or I did something wrong?

Thanks!
