How did you manage the import? I have worked very lightly on importing
from svn, but haven't got a full solution yet.

Are you operating under some unusual conditions that your developers'
machines don't have GB to spare? My 500 GB hdd is about 1/4 full, so I
wouldn't really think of a 1 GB checkout as problematically large.

Fossil's behavior seems to be pretty standard for DVCS, no?

If you can't break up your existing repo into several projects-specific
repos, it's hard for me to think of a fossil solution for this.

I've heard good things about this: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ --
i.e., that git on Windows is just fine with it.
