  Well, some projects have been around for a while. "All the history" can be a LOT of history.

    Actually, even for the Linux kernel, it's only a few hundred megabyte.

      "Only" a few hundred megabyte is "really a lot" in many situations.

      My bare Linux repository comes to 1.2GB. A git gc run got it down to 1.1GB.
