Hi all, I experimented a bit with carving things out of a git export of wesnoth's svn. I took a recent git-svn tarball, cloned it so I only got trunk and the major release branches, and then ran git-filter-branch to remove music and translation files. The end result after a git gc and bzip2 is 777MB, from a starting point of roughly 1.3GB. Frankly, I expected a much larger decrease and I am a bit disappointed, seems there's a lot more space taken up by images than I thought.
Also FYI, the git-filter-branch operations followed by git gc --aggresive took several hours (4-ish) on a reasonably beefy machine (i7 with lots of RAM). All in all I am no longer convinced the drop in disk usage is good enough to justify the overhead of having more repositories.
