Not sure.

Correct. But git doesn't search dirs so it's not that bad.

... depends on block size. With 2 KB:

defiant:~$ du -s /pub/mirror/linux-2.6.git
88366   /pub/mirror/linux-2.6.git
defiant:~$ du -s --apparent-size /pub/mirror/linux-2.6.git
63400   /pub/mirror/linux-2.6.git

Not bad, is it?

Well, probably it isn't best to have git and .iso archives on the same
filesystem.
