(Get the code!)
Added the same comments to bug 269125, but noticed this one explains the actual problem so wanted to record my use case here...
I tried to commit a 270MB tar.gz. I didn't get to the point of an exception but I noticed that memory consumption when running "top" did not stop growing (I stopped at about 60% of a 1GB total ram)
It's probably not the most common use case but something to consider. I personally use git to backup important documents and wanted to try bzr.
