Yeah, that's rather unfair indeed, counting that way he'd have to add
the 229MB for the Monotone db too ;).

And I am repacking with insane depth and window right now to see if we
can get it smaller (though really, it is not that big a deal, since the
size is dominated by his 11 working trees).

I repacked with --depth=100 and --window=100, I tried out 500 at first
but it was just insanely slow (on a VM with one 2.4Ghz Core
available). This resulted in a .git dir of 76MB. With that dir I did
the following:
$mkdir pidgins
$git clone --no-hardlinks --bare pidgin pidgin-bare
$mv pidgin-bare pidgins
$cd pidgins
$for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11; do git clone pidgin-bare pidgin$i; done
$ du -sh .
742M    .

So... monotone, eat your heart out ;).
