Thanks for the hint!  I totally forgot.  I did this with the GCC
repo before, it ends up slightly under 800MB (all branches, all
tags).  Different tunings give different results, it probably can
be made smaller still.

For the moment, I would be happy with _any_ conversion of src to
git though (or to SVN or <whatever> -- bridging anything that is
not CVS to git is easy, bridging CVS is not).  Converting src CVS
to git properly takes a few hours; keeping it synched is a lot
harder though.  So my vote is to move to either SVN or git ASAP;
I don't care which one.
