That's one way to look at it. Another way is to say it's about 0.18 EUR
of disk space in case of a SSD and 0.02 EUR in case of classical
magnetic disk.
It's always a bit of shock for developers used to centralized VCS (CVS,
Subversion, ...) when they see how long "git clone" takes and how much
data does it download. But that's the point of distributed VCS: you have
a complete history stored locally. What you get is fast "git log"
(compare to "svn log"), "git blame" etc. The question you should ask is:
how many times do I run "git clone" and how many times will I need
"git log" or "git blame"?
I believe those 492 MB of disk space are worth the comfort it brings.
BtW., the directory with my checked out trunk from Subversion has 636 MB
for some reason.
