Yeah, that's rather unfair indeed, counting that way he'd have to add the 229MB for the Monotone db too ;).

I repacked with --depth=100 and --window=100, I tried out 500 at first but it was just insanely slow (on a VM with one 2.4Ghz Core available). This resulted in a .git dir of 76MB. With that dir I did the following: $mkdir pidgins $git clone --no-hardlinks --bare pidgin pidgin-bare $mv pidgin-bare pidgins $cd pidgins $for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11; do git clone pidgin-bare pidgin$i; done $ du -sh . 742M .

So... monotone, eat your heart out ;).
