This may be a bzr issue instead of a bzr-svn.
The recently released bzr 1.2 (14 Feb 08) no longer consumes memory quite so readily. I cannot tell if this means some of the memory issues were fixed in bzr1.2, or if bzr1.2 is just not calling a problem routine in bzr-svn/svn bindings as often.
The good news is that this may make it close to usable. I started with a new "branch -r1" into a new repository, then performed a 1000 revision pull. Previously, this would run out of memory after running for several hours. This time, it used only 300Mb of memory and took a shiny 6 minutes to complete.
A subsequent pull of 3000 more revisions, "bzr pull -r4000", topped out at 925Mb and took 30 minutes. Not great, but much better than 3Gb over many hours for a 250 revision pull when using bzr1.1.
I'll try a full branch of all 22k+ revisions when I return from the weekend and let you know how things go.
