The git repository can actually be very efficiently compressed; with my copy of the git Linux kernel repository, 'n' is only about 1.5 (so it's even less than svn that weighs in at about 2.0!) in spite of the fact that it contains _all_ changes made to that rather largish project since april 2005. Numbers: - the kernel source tree currently occupies 374MiB (without git) - the underlying .git repositiory occupies 187MiB (!)
