(jameinel) Add bzr.groupcompress.max_bytes_to_index to limit peak memory
when delta-compressing large files (bug #602614) (John A Meinel)

added added

removed removed

.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.

* The text compressor used for 2a repositories now has a tweakable

parameter that can be set in bazaar.conf.

``bzr.groupcompress.max_entries_per_source`` default of 65536.

When doing compression, we build up an index of locations to match

against. Setting this higher will result in slightly better compression,

at a cost of more memory. Note that a value of 65k represents fully

sampling a 1MB file. So this only has an effect when compressing texts

larger than N*16 bytes. (John Arbash Meinel, #602614)
