I forgot that I had kept a very recent copy of the repository (obtained with dump + load) on a Debian/unstable machine (the goal was to do some tests before the server upgrade). So, I could test with it, still using svn+ssh (but here, localhost). An "svn blame" on the same file takes a small memory footprint for both the svn client and svnserve (around 16 - 30 MB for resident memory, around 250 MB for virtual memory). So, I suppose that the memory problem was a bug in 1.8.8. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
