Terrascenery is a somewhat special case in that it has almost just one
single, automated feed, it is destined to never require any review
before commit, will likely never see a branch and therefore doesn't fit
well as a comparison in the context of the current discussion.

Just for the record: Pulling Scenery from an SVN repository requires a
little bit more than twice the local disk space compared to the net
size of the respective content - which is almost the same ratio as with
GIT, at least for stuff like the Base Package.

Well, this article was written more than two years before now, when GIT
as well as Mercurial had been quite young projects. Much has changed
until now.

Cheers,
