This quantity of data looks correct, half of it being due to the data in doc-xc/.

$ git remote set-branches --add master pgxc/master
fatal: No such remote 'master'

I am not a GIT specialist, but in order to get all the branches, do only that:
git remote add -f pgxc git://postgres-xc.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/postgres-xc/postgres-xc

You will be able to see all the remote branches available with "git branch -a"
In this case, remote branches will be listed as remotes/pgxc/master, remotes/pgxc/REL1_0_STABLE, or whatever.

Then checkout a branch, here master, with that:
git branch --track pgxc-master pgxc/master
git checkout pgxc-master
This will create a branch called pgxc-master set to track the remote PGXC master branch when doing a git pull on this branch. Replace pgxc-master by the name you wish.
