As some people fear the size of the git repo, I've done a test: cloning took 5-6min (granted over a fast network connection) and requires 628mb of diskspace in the end. however, cloning using --depth 1 did not work :( $ git clone --depth 1 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/webwml/webwml2git.git Cloning into 'webwml2git'... fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly fatal: protocol error: bad pack header however if I clone locally (well using file://…) with --depth 1 I can see that it needs 454mb diskspace.
