You're right.  'svn blame', for instance, retrieves the history from the 
repository.  So it's not as bad as it could be... but that 700M number 
was from a ports tree checkout.  My source checkout shows 869M in .svn. 
That's a pretty large chunk of bandwidth for data that is useless to 
someone who just wants to do a buildworld, as opposed to actually 
working on the source.
