Looking back, I only see you asking about the git version on the server, 
which is 1.6.4.

So again:

git clone git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git
  (1399509 objects, ~600MB .git dir)
git gc --prune=now (988906 objects, ~450MB .git dir)

...then

git clone git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git --reference $firstclone
  (573401 objects, ~550MB .git dir)
git fsck (clean)
git gc --prune=now (5 objects, ~7MB .git dir)

What's going on here?
