Comment 0 for bug 864217

I was trying an experiment where I would convert the linux kernel git repository into a bazaar repository. However, when I was using 'fast-import', bazaar ran out of memory at "repacking" the repository when i had about 16,000 revisions out of 264,207

Attached is the bzr log (very very long) of when i started the fast-import to when it crashed.

I tried to restart the fast-import, but then I ran into this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/541626 , and now I seem unable to complete it because it keeps crashing with that error.

Also attached is my dxdiag output, which someone on irc told me to add so it helps to diagnose the problem.

The exact procedure I did, was I used git to clone the repository at "https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git", then i ran "git fast-export --all > linux.fe" to create the fast export file . Then using bazaar explorer i ran "bzr fast-import C:/Users/Mark/Desktop/tmp_linux/linux.fe C:/Users/Mark/Desktop/tmp_linux_bzr_repo" It took about....15 hours to get to the point where it crashed, so be prepared to wait x.x
