large svn repository import Memory Error exception raised

[gfoureau]

When importing a large repository (more than 10000 revision) with 5-10 branches/tags from a svn repository of 30 GB a MemoryError exception is raised.

I have 6 GB of RAM and I checked the ram consumptions of the bazaar process while importing and it was about 500-600 MB all the times.

Here's the log:
