OverflowError: - when committing +93k files

[Bjarne Christiansen]

Hi guys,
I have just created a new repo. I added 93712 files and got the following
error message when trying to do a "hg commit"

local -> hg commit
transaction abort!
rollback completed
** unknown exception encountered, details follow
** report bug details to http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/bts
** or mercurial at selenic.com
** Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 1.0.2)

OverflowError: requested number of bytes is more than a Python string can
hold

local -> python -V
