Not a problem.  That fixes one ambiguity:

now consistent:

Size of data on the server     8.5G     1.3G      n/a
Size of checkout               1.4G     2.7G     1.5G
Overhead in checkout             0G     1.3G     0.1G

So that only leaves the subversion number as being suspicious.

Could be I suppose. Although, in that case CVS should have suffered the same because the disparity was in the source tree size. Packed git shouldn't suffer any filesystem overhead (relatively) because the majority of it's space is taken up by one large pack file (which of course only suffers file system overhead once).

I've just checked using subversion 1.4.2 and the .svn/text-base/*.svn-base files are all uncompressed copies of the working tree files. Doesn't look like anythings changed in the pristine copy department.

Thanks for your help. It's all looking more consistent to me now; only the subversion figures seem wrong.

I wonder when they're going to get timing numbers for the non-git systems. That must be a monster of a repository for them to deal with.
