I didn't notice explicit mention of it, in the messages so far, so I'll 
just check: Have you been using the command line parameters that allow 
higher heap sizes?

Basically, append +RTS -M1600M to your command line, like so:
darcs pull +RTS -M1600M

This will allow it to use 1600MB of RAM. I've found I can't safely try 
to give it more than that.

Also, I think matching by patch name may cause higher memory usage, if 
that's what you're doing, so you should do a constraint-free pull and 
answer [y]es and then [d]one, to get that single patch, if you aren't 
already doing so.

Oh, if you come across or write a script that can handle combination of 
multiple (branched) darcs repositories into a single git repository, I'd 
be interested.
