hello

I am using hg 3.0.1 and want to put _all_ files of a project under hg
control.

I have the largefile extension enabled. The directory in question
contains some «large» files, the largest a pdf file  being 17 M of size.

Now when running

hg add  largefile.pdf

I obtain

largefile.pdf: up to 51 MB of RAM may be required to manage this file
(use 'hg revert largefile.pdf' to cancel the pending addition)

The machine in question is a server (with Kubuntu 10.04) which only as 1.5 G of RAM, but no
active users.

So the question is: is this message harmful or not?

thanks

Uwe Brauer
