git repositories aren't giant masses of text files; they're compressed on disk and the additional gains from compressing them with lzma are minimal (12 MB on a 306 MB git repo I have lying around). I assume Mercurial does something similar as the difference would be a lot larger than 17 vs 50 MB if not.
