Heh, haven't tried tbh.

48GB apparently. This repository is approx. 90% of the subversion repository - I didn't prepare it.

Yes, I don't have the details, though.

Mmm. Everyone always says that; what it really needs I think is someone to really take the conversion on board and come up with a workable plan on this front. I think the counter-argument to this was "but you always want to have 70% of the repository checked out for development". Counter-counter argument is "yes but they don't always need to be deep clones". Anyway, it's not my baby, just thought I'd let you know about it :-)
