Just to make it clear: reading the git tree is lazy.  The problem is
somewhere in the higher layers, probably in pull_cmd.

There's also another problem: reading the git tree takes 220MB.  Then
Darcs allocates a further 500MB without calling my code at all.  (Some
of it is doubtless due to linesPS, that should be more than a handful
of megabytes.)
