It has its advantages too, but I'm by no means experienced enough to
give you the whole picture.  I was just letting you know how much
space git-svn uses on my machine to keep track of gcc development.

And if every week (or two) I've generated/fetched enough new material
that it matters, I'm only one call to git-gc away from
packing/pruning/etc.  Git 1.5 has had a lot of usability improvements
in this area.  Purely FYI, not evangelizing.
