Our larger files are near 800MB and the total checked out repo size is about 3 GB the repo size in SVN is more like 20-30GB, if we could prune the history prior to MR, we could get these sizes down considerably. This binary repo is really for our super project build. From what I have read and learned, this is not a good fit for the GIT tool. Have there been performance improvements lately? Some of the posts I have read have been quite old?

Looks quite promising, perhaps it can help solving my current
backup problems.
Maybe we could implement some of the features, eg. the hashsplit
format (maybe it could even combined w/ xdelta ?) or the bupindex
and some extended metadata directly in git ?
BTW: how are the current tree objects structured ? Is there always
one big tree object representing the whole tree or can it be
splitted hierachically ?
