Hi,
Has anyone thought about reducing distribution size ?
comparison:
git-1.6.4.4 i%du -hs .
115M .
mercurial-1.0.2 i%du -hs .
5.4M .
bazaar-1.10rc1 i%du -hs
21M .
darcs-2.2.1 i%du -hs /nix/store/8xwfavyv22pvm3s60wvzcbq561fjk5di-darcs-2.2.1 nixos
32M .
There was an attempt to reduce size by using a shared library in 2007:

So is there a reason why git takes up so much more disk space other than
that its using many small executables?
