I'm more confused now then. I assumed the figures were accurate, but they cannot be: CVS git SVN Size of data on the server 8.5G 1.3G n/a Size of checkout 1.4G 2.8G 1.5G I don't doubt the 1.3G on the server - and assume that is fully packed. The checkout sizes are suspicious though. Is that 2.8G packed? - If it is, then we can deduce that this is a repo+source size, since the server is packed size+0 therefore the size of the source tree is 2.8G - 1.3G = 1.5G In which case the other figures are wrong: - CVS checkout is 1.4G - impossible, the source tree is 1.5G. And where is the overhead of the CVS directories which would make it more than 1.5G? - SVN checkout overhead is always _at least_ the size of the source tree because it keeps a pristine copy of HEAD. If the source tree is 1.5G, then this figure should be at least 3G. - If it is not, then we're back to "I don't believe that git was packed" Something smells fishy here - either the source tree size is included in some, but not in others or the git repository wasn't packed.
