[issue928] hg convert svn memory leak

[fugounashi]

New submission from fugounashi <fugounashi at gmail.com>:

There is a memory leak in hg convert from a subversion repository.

As this is with the latest stable mercurial 03ce5a919ae3 and latest development
subversion 28881, and the leak occurs during the "converting..." stage, it
appears to be a different problem to the earlier memory leak issue for which
there is a work around in this version of mercurial and a fix in this version of
subversion.

The repository has mp3 files, one album per directory, something like 6 files at
around 4MB each per directory, and one initial add/commit per directory per
revision.

Memory use grows as follows:
after  5 revisions:  350MB
after 10 revisions: 1000MB
after 15 revisions: 1400MB
after 20 revisions: 2000MB

Python is current debian stable 2.4.4-2.

Thanks.
