I have run into a snag with my CVS installation: [scarolan at neinei:~]$ cvs co -P installfiles cvs checkout: Updating installfiles cvs [checkout aborted]: out of memory; can not allocate 1022462837 bytes Unfortunately we have a couple of large binary .tgz files in the repository. I was able to check them in but as you can see I can't check them out because of memory limitations. I have even added 2 more gigs of swap space but it still errors out. I noticed while watching it that it doesn't seem to use all the swap space. Any pointers?
