bzr-svn out of memory error

Question

When I try to do a bzr branch from my svn repository I get an out of memory error. The svn repository is very large. Is there a way to give bzr more memory?

Answer 1

Try to branch in small steps. I.e. if you have 1000 revisions in your svn repo, try to branch by 100 revisions or so. I.e. first step

bzr branch URL/to/svn/repo -r100

Then increment revno by the 100

bzr pull -r200
bzr pull -r300

and so on.
