I don't know exactly how big it is but the Gentoo CVS repository
is also considered to be very large (about the size of the Mozilla
repository) and just as difficult to import.  Its either crashed or
taken about a month to process with the current Git CVS->Git tools.

Since I know that the bulk of the Gentoo CVS repository is the
portage tree I did a quick find|wc -l in my /usr/portage; its about
124,500 files.

Its interesting that Gentoo has almost as large of a repository given
that its such a young project, compared to NetBSD and Mozilla.  :-)
