Well, just after sending this message I thought that I could try
another approach, I wanted to find a theoretical "low" limit of the
project size.

The "git fast-export" of my project is a LONG text file of

152429135 bytes  ~= 146 Megabyte

which contains all the history uncompressed.

Compressing with 7z I obtain a ridiculous small file of

2239762 bytes ~= 2.2 Megabyte (!)

This could be regarded as the "information content" of my project
(which does not contain any binary file, only text files, most of
which are java source, many edits).

So git, with its 7 megabytes, approaches this "theoretical" low
limit...

I wonder if this "theoretical low" limit of a project history could be
defined.
