4. by default git tends to accumulate history, which can eat up disk

things that might have been subsequently removed/changed
This is why I have not switched to git. I have /usr/portage on a
separate 1GB partition (with distfiles and packages stored elsewhere).
The ebuild tree is 600MB with rsync and cannot fit on the partition
with git.
I'd be happy to switch if the space requirements were similar.
Same here. One cannot avoid 3 things: death, taxes and insufficient
hard-disk space.
