This is probably all true but for the price of throwing around 100s of MB for features a typical CTM-user doesn't need :-). For people who just want to have up-to-date trees, this is all overkill. A solution might be net/gitup which is quite lightweight but currently does not work via HTTP proxies (but people are working on it). -Andre
