I have a 250gb hard disk, and no spare minutes per day.

The point of a large repository isn't whether or not you can store it. The point of a large repository is that it takes a long time to clone, and cloning is pretty damn important in a DVCS.

I don't think anybody would suggest that size of repository matters for the number of bytes involved. There are obvious side effects of a large repository.
