So 6MB.
But it's easy enough to test this for real too.
$ du -sk local
23468 local
$ du -sk --apparent-size local
13584 local
find local/ -name files | while read i; do
sed -i 's#\(^[^[:space:]]\+[^ /%]\)$#\1
33c2a4bda46c7cee498bb660084492dd#' $i
done
$ du -sk local
29016 local
$ du -sk --apparent-size local
19327 local
Who cares about the size of the local db anyway ?
