Not that either of us get a vote here, but just so no one else goes around
repeating that misinformation:
http://whygitisbetterthanx.com/#git-is-small
http://book.git-scm.com/7_how_git_stores_objects.html
http://book.git-scm.com/7_the_packfile.html
git certainly has issues, and as others have mentioned, the learning curve
is one of its biggest, but efficient use of storage is not a common problem.
