This basically means bzr ran out of memory trying to extract the data
from the repository. The message is a bit misleading, but it's better
in later releases.

If you can upgrade to a later bzr, this may get better. If you can
then upgrade your repository to a later format, like say 1.9 (which
would require all your users be at least on bzr 1.9) we may handle
this better. We still have limits with single files that are close to
the size of the machines' memory.
