Hi DM,

Git has the option of only cloning the most recent history.  Use the 
--depth option.

I've played around a bit with rewriting history and I think that by deleting jar, dmg, zip, exe, ... and other binary artifacts that we can store elsewhere, I got it down to 100G. I think it can go smaller. But not sure what would be the best way, or even a good way.
