I tried to reproduce this with 1.4.0-rc1. The 'svn add' step was a memory
hog indeed, growing up to 250M of usage, but succeeding. The commit step,
however, was a quick jump to 55M (likely entries caching, working copy
locking, etc.), and held steady there for the duration of the commit. But
during post-commit deltification, it just seemed to spin. I attached to the
process, and found 300 stack levels of recursion in deltify_mutable(). I
continued, and interrupted a little while later to find 98 recursion levels
of apr_pool_walk_tree() below 353 recursions of deltify_mutable()!!

Clearly, there's an algorithm that's not scaling so well.
