Subject: git-svn: avoid a huge memory spike with high-numbered revisions
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.1-rc1~202
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=47a0b75e01876b6e138d78c9504eebedd45c1283;p=git.git

git-svn: avoid a huge memory spike with high-numbered revisions

Passing very large strings as arguments is bad for memory usage
as it never seems to get freed in Perl.  The .rev_db format is
already not optimized for projects with sparse history.
