Comment 2 for bug 193685

I can confirm this error on WinXP Professional SP3. The system has 4 GiB RAM and a swap file of the same size.

Actions taken:
bzr init .
bzr init-repo --no-trees f:\some\path
bzr branch . f:\some\path\branch
bzr bind f:\some\path\branch
bzr add
(adding 7051 files, 310 folders, 2.17 GiB on disk)
bzr commit
(working some time ...)

Error Message:
bzr: ERROR: exceptions.MemoryError:
