Are there any very large files in the repository? Trying to version big binaries can result in this kind of problem, see bug 109114 for more. More details about the size of the repository and the changes you're trying to commit would be useful.

I already committed many revisions of some binary files the size of largest one is 250 MB but the issue occurred when I tried to commit tiny text file.

For that I'm wondering why this happen!

Having it only start failing on a small commit can be surprising. What's probably happening is that the automatic repacking is triggered, and that requires memory proportional to the size of the repo. To confirm this, run `bzr pack` and see if you get the same "out of memory" error.

Unfortunately, once your repository has been bloated by big binaries, it's not easy to go back. Branching from an earlier revision then omitting them is one option, or otherwise rewriting them out of the history.

I got same error when I run `bzr pack` !!!

What's your suggestion? Do I need create a new repository?

This is an out-of-memory error. We are working on fixing them.

Can you please paste the traceback from .bzr.log, whose location is
shown by 'bzr --version'.
