My import of kdebase with git-svn starting in the 4.2b1 tag to today and with git repack -f -d --window=100 has 122 MB (only the .git directory). My linux-2.6.27.y repository (I have 2 little patches to kernel) is 248 MB with the same repack. If the whole history of kde modules is around 100-300 MB, it is ok for me. I fear that the repository grows to insane sizes making hard to keep the whole repository in our computers. Frankly, very old history does not help much. IMHO, it is a waste of space to have a copy in each computer. When was the last time that you go through the history log of kde 1?? kde 2?? And yes, kde 3?? I dare to ask if you go through in kde 4.0.x branch. And the history log will not be lost. It will only remains in another place. And you will have a huge advantage getting lean repositories. This way the git will be a lot more faster. As I said before, it's only my opinion. If nobody agrees, it's ok.
