Public bug reported:
I encrypted my home partition on a new hard disk with ecrypts when I
installed Ubuntu 12.04. When checking out a large subversion repository
with lots of branches using git-svn I noticed that the partition filled
up much faster than it should. (The partition is 80GB, and it is
reported as full by "df" and "baobab" when the git tree reaches
approximately 12GB. Running "du -chs" on the git tree makes the free
space on the partition drop rapidly until it reaches a more reasonable
level. I can reproduce this reliably with this particular (non-public)
repository, but have yet to try out others. I was able to do the same
checkout with no problems on a non-encrypted but otherwise similar 50GB
partition on my previous, now defunct hard disk, which suggests that
this may be related to ecryptfs.
