I just read this blog post [0] in which one of the Pidgin devs sheds
his light on their 'tool choice'. In the post he mentions the
following figures:

I have poked him on #pidgin, and he has added the following:

"Note: It's come to my attention that I had missed the ability to
share a git database across multiple working copies. In that scenario,
the total size of the database and 11 working copies is slightly under
750 MB, and thus a space savings in the neighborhood of 150 MB over
monotone. It had been my understanding that I needed a copy of the
database per working copy. I stand corrected. I don't use git on a
daily basis, as the projects I work with currently use CVS, SVN, or
monotone, so I am bound to miss finer details of git here and there.
There are other reasons I prefer to stick with monotone, but I won't
get into them here, as they're not important to the point of this
post."

So I'm happy ;).
