[issue609] Repository-wide operations (diff, commit) unable to complete, MemoryError

[Andrei Errapart]

New submission from Andrei Errapart <andreie at no.spam.ee>:

1. I accidentally performed "hg add" on all stale files (*.obj, *.pdf, etc) on
my repository. Approximately 3000 files were added.
2. "hg commit" - tried to get list of those files. Bailed out with out of memory
error.
3. "hg remove" on all those stale files by hand.
4. I am able to diff and commit individual files.

Still, "hg diff" and "hg commit" never complete:

C:\soft>hg diff > err.diff

MemoryError
C:\soft>

I am about to split the repository up between individual project, thus there is
no urgency. I will keep the repository, if additional information is needed to
resolve this issue, I'll be happy to help.
