Interesting data points.
Can you get these related data points too? - relevant for those with
limited internet bandwidth (as is the case for some translators):
* amount of data transfered over the wire for initial full git clone
* amount of data transfered over the wire for shallow git clone
* amount of data transfered over the wire for CVS clone
* disk space used for CVS clone
Should be possible to get the git data by cloning from yourself via
localhost: URL (to ensure that git does not use hardlink optimixations).
