Comment 4 for bug 269125

Same here, I was about to open a bug on this. My case was actually when I tried to commit a 270MB tar.gz. I didn't get to the point of an exception but I noticed that mempry 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.
