Interesting data points.

Can you get these related data points too? - relevant for those with 
limited internet bandwidth (as is the case for some translators):

  * amount of data transfered over the wire for initial full git clone
  * amount of data transfered over the wire for shallow git clone
  * amount of data transfered over the wire for CVS clone
  * disk space used for CVS clone

Should be possible to get the git data by cloning from yourself via 
localhost: URL (to ensure that git does not use hardlink optimixations).
