I've been very impressed with the reliability and speed of sync
operations using git they never take more than a few seconds.
With git you might need to occasionally wipe your repository to delete
history if you don't want it to accumulate (I don't think there is a
way to do that automatically but if you can tell git to drop history
let me know).
Look into "git pack". It won't get rid of old versions, but I think it
compresses all the old stuff. But once the repository has been packed, I
gather it's normal for the old packed stuff to take up less space than
the current stuff.
