bzr branches overuses resources

[Russel Winder]

When I run "bzr branches" on my directory containing 11 Bazaar branches, 6 of them in 3 shared repositories the other 5 just branches, memory usage goes up to 1068MB with 540MB resident and flattens my machine (750MB memory 1.5GB swap) for about 10 minutes.

In effect "bzr branches" is unusable. I have no idea what the algorithm is being used but can I suggest it needs changing.

the branches command just uses the standard BzrDir.find_branches method, so I don't think it's a bug in bzrtools.

I've seen this behaviour if I have the bzr-svn plugin installed (not all versions of bzr-svn + the python-subversion bindings seem to cause it, but I think the versions in Ubuntu Hardy do). Russel, can you tell us if you have bzr-svn installed, and if so if uninstalling it fixes the problem?

I am away on a 5-day break just now, so I'll try the experiment next
week. Apologies for the delay.

In case it wasn't obvious :-) Yes I do have bzr-svn installed. I am
using the latest branch from Jelmer.

This was a bug in bzr-svn that's now fixed.
