Well, the portable Git bundle compressed with 7zip is approx. 11MB, the Git installer (maybe also using 7zip internally) is at approx. the same size. Unpacked/installed on disk they are at 138MB/131MB. If you try to compress it with zip, it will reduce to approx. 70MB which still is quite large.
We are interested, too, in having a small(er) bundle, because we want to distribute Git binaries with our Git GUI front-end, SmartGit, so the user will (have the option to) get an all-inclusive-bundle.
