Ah, thanks, that'd be very borderline.  If it's potentially every commit
then it's a killer.  I wonder if the wiki could put the requirements up
front a bit more.  Without being too provocative something like

    The repo is about 300Mb.  An initial checkout will download it in
    full and may use about 1Gb of RAM while doing so.  Subsequent
    commits and updates could transfer as much as 10Mb even for modest
    changes.

it :-).

You know for all that these fancy rcs's were motivated by shortcomings
