It has no relation to the main version of the history in gcc.git (the gcc-old.git history is also available in gcc.git under refs/git-old/ and refs/git-svn-old/, not fetched by default). The vast bulk of the approximately 6000 refs in gcc.git are *not* fetched by default, and the repository is set up with delta islands to make that efficient. People not wanting full history of the branches they clone can create a shallow clone with git clone --depth (and people wanting full history but only for one branch can use --single-branch). The GCC repository size is similar to that for the Linux kernel. -- Joseph S. Myers joseph@codesourcery.com
