That should be fairly easily mapped on a 32-bit architecture without any huge problems, even with some VM fragmentation going on. It might be borderline (and you definitely want a 3:1 VM user:kernel split), but considering that the original CVS archive was apparently 3GB, having a single 617M pack-file is still pretty damn good. That's like 20% of the original, with all the obvious distribution advantages. Clearly this whole thing _does_ show that we could improve the process of importing things from CVS a whole lot, and I assume your 617MB pack doesn't have the nice name/email translations so it needs to be fixed up, but it sounds like on the whole the core git design came through with shining colors, even if we may want to polish things up a bit ;) I'm downloading the thing right now.
