Hi,

I've been using git-svn to mirror the gcc repository at
svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc.  Recently, I noticed that my .git directory
is consuming 11GB of disk space.  Digging further, I discovered that
9.8GB of this is attributable to the .git/svn directory (which
includes 200 branches and 2,588 tags).  Given that my .git/objects
directory is 652MB, it seems that it ought to be possible to store
this information in a more compact form.

I'm curious if other developers have run into this issue.  If so, are
there any proposals / plans for improving the storage of git-svn
metadata?

Thanks,
Ollie
