Wow, that's quite a saving of space!
Another cool thing that could be done for new developers wanting to get a checkout of Lazarus or FPC. Weekly or Monthly archives of the repository could be created. I compressed the Lazarus HEAD checkout of Git with 7zip. That dropped the size of the whole repository down to 23MB. Smaller than my current stripped lazarus executable. :-) Once the full history Git checkout is complete, I'll compress it with 7zip as well to see how small it can go.
