Mercurial problem with large binary changesets

Hello all,

we are problem at work trying to version-control a project that contains
a moderate sized (~20mb) binary file.

Most of the time we try to push that project to the repository server,
the hg process runs away, consumming massive amount of memory before
being put down by the OOM killer.

The target machine is a bit short on memory though, but I doubt it'd
make that much of a difference since the memory usage of hg climbs to
2gb before dying.

The project in question includes a Lotus Notes template, in case anyone
had to deal with those.  The template is frequently modified and
probably leads to big changesets.

F-D
