Hi Dave. Thanks for the report. Evidently, some part of the merge (and
revert) operation is using far more memory than would be considered
reasonable, and thus aborting.

129 MB is not considered large at all for a directory managed by
Subversion, so I assume there is something about the particular
arrangement of data or operations in your case that tickles this
behaviour.

Please would you try to write a reproduction script that starts with
"svnadmin create ...", "svn checkout ...", and does whatever is
necessary to cause this large memory usage? Then one of us should be
able to run it track down the cause.

Thanks.
