Interestingly:

[pb00084@ssclt003 ~]$ git clone git://git.gpleda.org/gaf.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/its/p3/pb00084/gaf/.git/
...
Receiving objects: 100% (63338/63338), 17.45 MiB | 235 KiB/s, done.

It seems that the entire version control history of gEDA so far is smaller
than the resulting built package. ;-)  Maybe people in the third world
should just Use the Source, if they're short of bandwidth!
