[Bug 298111] [NEW] mercurial commit fails with large files

[Andrew]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mercurial

When attempting the following commands:
hg init
hg ci -Aym "Initial"

and one of the files being added is over 10MB, mercurial errors due to a
python code bug:

somelargfile.tar.gz: files over 10MB may cause memory and performance problems
(use 'hg revert somelargfile.tar.gz' to unadd the file)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hg", line 20, in <module>
    mercurial.dispatch.run()
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/mercurial/dispatch.py", line 20, in run
    sys.exit(dispatch(sys.argv[1:]))
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/mercurial/dispatch.py", line 29, in dispatch
    return _runcatch(u, args)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/mercurial/dispatch.py", line 93, in _runcatch
    ui.warn(_("abort: %s\n") % inst[1])
IndexError: tuple index out of range
