Further information: Fossil was written for the purpose of managing the SQLite project. The primary SQLite Fossil repository contains about 5.8 GB of content when fully expanded, but that is compressed down to 92 MB. In other words, the whole repository spanning 18 years of development and 20K check-ins and 78K artifacts is less than 1/10th the size of just one of your files. The largest uncompressed artifact in the SQLite repo is 19 MB and the median uncompressed artifact size is 42 KB. With compression the largest artifact is 1.8 MB and median artifact size is a mere 152 bytes. I analyzed a bunch of other Fossil repositories, and they all mostly have similar stats. Except, usually the maximum uncompressed artifact size is about an order of magnitude less than 19 MB (SQLite is has a few exceptionally large artifacts) and in the case of the SQL Logic Test repository, the median artifact size was 1.5 KB. -- D.
