Can you clarify if these sizes mean size of the checkout or size of the
repository (in server)? (Of course for .git it's the same, but for svn
and CVS I mean.)

I've noticed with bzr (with other projects) that checkout (or branch or
clone) in bzr takes less space with full version history than svn
checkout takes (with only most recent version saved in checkout).
