IIRC WebKit has more objects, more files, etc. Its repository's compressed form is >4G. I know of at least some proprietary repositories with 96G in them.

And bup wasn't used so we didn't get very good compression over the files. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
