I just attempted this experiment using a local FSFS repository and
what I think is the entirety of the NetBSD source tree. Import was
successful after 42 minutes wall time. Maximum memory usage during
the majority of the import was 19M, however, after the final revision
file was moved into place, memory usage spiked to 44M. It could just
be the recursive delete of the completed transaction directory. It
had around 120,000 files in it after finalization.
Checkout was successful too, after 43 minutes wall time. Memory usage
climbed steadily throughout the entire checkout, peaking at 85M. I
didn't remember that there was a component of checkout/update that was
supposed to be linear in memory?
Just for record, the NetBSD sources I used totaled 973 megabytes, with
95,900 files or so. The checked out working copy totaled 3,336
megabytes in size. The experiments were on my relatively unloaded
Athlon XP 1900 with a 5400 rpm 80G hard drive.
