Pywikibot finished GIT migration. Now a question has anybody ever
tryed to clone and use the e.g. the pywikibot/compat repo on the TS?
If I do, I get and .git folder of about 200MB which nearly fills my
home quota. (this is the plain clone - nothing done to/with it yet!!)

Thanks to Chad:

8.05MB. Beat that! :-) (the checkout itself accounts for the remaining 6 MB, totaling to 14 MB)
