This page seems to support this claim:
A complete git repo is usually smaller than a complete SVN one (according to "common knowlege" - as in, I didn't run any benchmarks), but one commonly only checks out the /trunk subdirectory in subversion, while git usually checks out the whole project history, including all branches - it could be a substantial amount of data you don't check out with SVN. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
