Network, in this case is cheaper. The thing is that If I commit
frecuently, will have plenty of GBs of history, that nearly for sure I
won't use. I just need to have other people's work to merge. But I
want to think in Git style, I am pretty accustomed to that way of
doing things. That is why I sent this mail here.
The idea is that if I modify 700MBs of video, with 20 commits I would
get in 21GB. And making a pull would be... just even more horrible
than anything. That is why I need to have also last checkouts filter.
Just download branch's HEADs.

I am currently planifying a 3D project, and I will be having large binary
files. If I add a distributed VCS, the amount of disk space required will
increase significantly.
You are going to transfer something that wont fit into your hard disk
up and down your network once in a while ?
I assume disk to be cheaper than network.

You're obviously aware of git-annex, is there any reason you can't
just use that?
That would give you what you want, you'd have a moving window of
current files, and then you'd delete old files as they become
un-needed.

If there is a lot of static content, you should try git-media[1]. Its
specifically aimed at what you are trying to achieve.
