You need even a deep git clone with full history. |

Already now this means that you need 2 (or already 3?) times the |
| 9 |
disk space as for an rysnc mirror; multiply all numbers by 4 |
| 10 |
if you used squashfs to store the tree. |

In the course of the years the factor will continue to increase; |
| 13 |
I guess at least by 1 for every year (there is possibility of some |
| 14 |
compression of history, but OTOH, many packages are added and |
| 15 |
removed, eclasses keep changing, etc.) |

So in 2-3 years, it can be for some users 20 times the disk storage |
| 18 |
than what it needs now. |

I think there must be a very good reason to require that amount of |
| 21 |
disk space on everybody's machine. ChangeLogs IMHO isn't. |
