MemoryError using CVS2SVN

Question

I'm trying to migrate a CSV repository to SVN using csv2svn. After dealing with some errors during the first pass (CollectRevsPass), i'm in the fourth step and this error appears:

MemoryError

I checked and there is enough free memory, when this error appear. Just before the Error appears, the process 'python' increaces a lot the use of memory.

Does Some one know what can I do?

• CVS2SVN 2.4
• Python 2.7

Answer 1

This error can also indicate that the process has run out of virtual address space. If you are running cvs2svn in 32-bit mode, then the process only has something like 2 GiB or 4 GiB of addresses that it can use, regardless of whether the computer has free RAM. If this is the case, try running the program in 64-bit mode.

If you are already running in 64-bit mode, then try increasing RAM or swap space or running the program on a beefier computer.
