No, simply because fpGUI history is still small (just over 1000 revisions). As far as I can see, a normal clone of fpGUI repository will download about +- 7Mb (git archives everything before it goes over the wire). Even on my sh*tty 3G internet connection that went pretty quick. Also you can resume if the connection is droped half way through. 99% of the time SVN ends up being corrupt and can't resume (I experienced this with Lazarus repository on Sunday). Alternatively, if you don't want the full history, simply tell git how far back it must go. For example: $ git clone --depth 10 git://fpgui.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/fpgui Will only get the last ten revisions. This has some limitations (you can't push), but is perfectly fine if you wanted to contribute in the form of emailing patches.
