Repo Delete Gives Error Message

[deech]

Hi all,
I deleted the public repo: ISBNLookup and got this error message:
Server error: user error (Error in fork: forkProcess: resource
exhausted (Cannot allocate memory))

I am now trying to recreate the repo and it keeps popping up the same
message.

thanks ...

deech, for some reason, when you do any darcs operations, the process eats up 200+MB of memory and can never complete because it is so hungry. I am not sure why this is happening. How large is your repository data (on your local hard drive)

Well the reason I need to get rid of it is because I included, by
mistake, the entire Qooxdoo [1] source tree which is ~ 300MB.
Operations were taking forever even on my PC so I started a new repo
and tried to delete the online repo when I ran into this problem.

Right now ISBNLookup is not listed under 'My Repos' but if I try to
create another one it says the name already exists.

Could you manually delete the directory? Is that going to mess up
anything else?

I removed the ISBNLookup directly manually.

Looks like we need to be monitoring darcs memory usage. Hmmm...
