[cvsnt] out of memory with cvs log...

[John Cole]

Tony,
  That may be the case, but with VM, I'm no where close to out of memory. I
have 1GB physical and 1.5GB virtual memory and its stopping when the PF hits
1GB.
  I tried to uninstall the latest test build and install the version that is
working (41a) on my backup server, but the client kept complaining about an
invalid parameter.  My main server, which works fine, is setup similarly to
the backup, but it is running an different OS (XP vs. W2K3)

John

A log can use up a fair bit of memory as it has to load every single 
revision, compared to a checkout that only typically needs one or two 
revisions at a time.

A worst case for a 1.2gb file would be 1.2gb of memory for the log, plus 
a little extra.

I actually did some work a while ago to reduce the memory requirement 
for such things but I've no idea where that went to... it looks like it 
never got committed.
