I don't actually know/remember offhand if the quota calculations take into account the compression we get out of the data or not, but either way, it's quite possible to run out of quota for certain kinds of uses. In general, checking large generated files into version control is frowned upon, if the data can be rebuilt from a (smaller) program. In this case, for example, if the data you're checking in is generated from a script, the best practice would be to version control the script, and regenerate the "heavy" data files on the client side after the checkout. This helps both checkout time (most people's internet connections have lower bandwidth than their hard drives, so generating the data locally is a better use of time) and your quota situation. In this case, looking through your repository, I don't see any data generation scripts, so I assume that the data files are provided to you as-is for the course or something? Either way, it doesn't seem like you're misusing the platform, which is the main reason the quotas exist (to prevent runaway abuse from eating too much disk). I've doubled your Subversion quota, which should give you plenty of space to finalize your project, as it looks like it's in the final stages. I do have one point of concern about the content you are hosting (and its open-sourceness), which I'll take up with you privately. But for the quota request specifically, you're good to go. - Dave > Would it be at all possible to get more quota?
