On Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux machines, when I run "svn log" in some working copy or on some repository URL using the svn+ssh scheme, such as with
svn log | tail or, if this is too fast, svn log | less (and searching for a pattern near the end of the output), I notice that the RES memory of the svn process increases, e.g. from 5MB to 24MB, while I would expect the needed memory to remain constant, or at least bounded. No such problem with the "file" scheme: the RES memory remains constant. $ svn --version svn, version 1.7.5 (r1336830) compiled Sep 28 2012, 11:22:04 Copyright (C) 2012 The Apache Software Foundation.
