Trouble Committing Binary Files

[Clark Hwang]

I'm running TortoiseHg 0.5 with Mercurial 1.0.2 on Windows XP service pack 3.    Task manager tells me I have 1.3 GIB RAM available.    It looks like I was assuming an incorrect factor of 2.   Any work around as I can't break this file into chunks.    Will a future release of Mercurial accommodate checking in files of any size?

Which version of Mercurial are you using and how much -free- memory do
you have? If you're running Linux, send the output of the 'free'
command.

The factor may actually be more like 5 or 6.
