FYI, doing a repack brought the size down from 5.0GB to 266MB. Aside
from the question of whether or not it's wise to require users to
manually pack their repositories, it looks like the git tree is going
to be about 750MB, which brings it more or less on par with mercurial.
I'm keen to play around with mercurial a bit. Danny, when is your
repository going to be publicly available?
I'm converting full history now, it's on revision 10000 :)
It'll probably be a few days before it's done.
(This is because it's an incremental program, and is requesting every
revision one by one. If I did t from an svn dump fle, it would
probably only take a few hours).
