If you want your git repo to be smaller and can burn some cpu: git gc --aggressive; du -sh . 485M . Regarding remote svn diffs vs local git diffs: time svn log https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk svn log https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk 1.02s user 0.45s system 5% cpu 25.414 total time git log | cat git log 0.49s user 0.09s system 37% cpu 1.531 total cat 0.02s user 0.37s system 25% cpu 1.531 total You can dump all the logs in 25 wall clock seconds for svn; 1.5 seconds for git. You can also do things like git grep, git log -S and so on. And you can work without a network entirely for days. You won't be able to access things added since you last connected, but you can commit, do diffs, merges and blames and search history - all without a network.
