If one git repacks every few syncs one needs currently about 800 MB. With additionally squashfs (zstd) (+ overlayfs) the full archive size is currently <600 MB. In both cases, the temporary disk space is slightly more, of course. For a 1GB reserved partition I'd use the partition for the temporary mounting and store the archive somewhere else, but I think chances are good that you also come through with only a git repack after every sync. A difficulty might be the very first git sync.
