Why are you surprised? The current checkout of KDE is 674 MB.

Johannes will have the exact figure for how many revisions are in that 
repository. But just as an illustration, since the KDE 4 branch-point 
(r438981 - a little over 2 years and 3 months ago), we submitted 73459 
changesets to trunk/KDE. That's 2.8x the number of submissions for Samba in 
its entire lifetime and 56% the number of submissions for gcc in its entire 
lifetime (19 years).

But here's another reason to NOT split into too many modules: every time you 
split, your download increases and your .git dirs increase in size. Even if 
the Git community make it possible for Git to share objects (and compress) 
locally different repositories, your download is still limited by what 
repositories you check out.

It's not missing.

	git clone --depth=1000 ....
