The entire history of the Linux kernel since switching to git 5 years ago is stored in a repo that is *less than half the size* of a single current checkout. The entire history of the XFree86 project ended up being a repo that was only 2-3 times the size of the current checkout. Seriously, don't be afraid of git simply because "it has all the history". SVN is already worse because it has a single local backup copy for every live file, 2x right there. -- Randal L.
