hmm, I've done some calculations before on checking out all revisions of all data I keep in my subversion repositories. IIRC, checking out all versions of all files in my ~3 gb of repositories would need closer to 1 terabyte of data than 100 gb. Not very practical for laptop use. :-)

Have you considered The guts of git
for loops?
You cannot just multiply the number of revisions by the number of files unless you change all files in every revision. The files that don't change between revisions are not stored as separate copies (because their SHA1 checksum is the same). In fact, if you revert to original file contents, the repository would be reusing the old files.
