The entire history of the Linux kernel since switching to git 5 years
ago is stored in a repo that is *less than half the size* of a single
current checkout.
The entire history of the XFree86 project ended up being a repo that
was
only 2-3 times the size of the current checkout.
Seriously, don't be afraid of git simply because "it has all the
history". SVN is already worse because it has a single local backup
copy for every live file, 2x right there.
I may have been influenced here by the fact that, in KDE, the size
became
a problem, due to the large amounts of binary content in the
repositories
(artwork), which is, of course, not the case for FreeBSD.
