That's a 3 GB download. :O
Will this really be the required disk space/bandwidth for people that want to 
checkout KDE/??!?

Another thing that seems missing in git is the ability to (locally) remove 
commits older than a certain period... I don't really want to get commits, 
history and diffs up to KDE 3.5.8 forever...
Maybe I'm wrong and such a thing does already exist, it's just that googling 
hasn't led to any solutions. =)
