[darcs-devel] [issue79] whatsnew -l loads complete contents of files into memory

[Zooko]

New submission from Zooko <zooko at zooko.com>:

To reproduce:

$ time head --bytes=17179869184 /dev/zero > bigtempfile
$ darcs init
$ darcs whatsnew -l

To fix:

Process files in a lazy manner.  Perhaps you could even use a programming
language which has laziness built in!  :-)

(Thanks for Brian Warner for bringing this bug to my attention.)

Regards,

Zooko
