Well, I re-packed and referenced that repo some time ago to Linus's
repo, so for the most, GIT should download some pack files from Linus
and some 6 MB (or the like) of vax-linux specific history:

jbglaw at hera:~$ du -ks /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/
237712  /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/
jbglaw at hera:~$ du -ks /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jbglaw/vax-linux.git/
6612    /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jbglaw/vax-linux.git/
jbglaw at hera:~$ 

So at *max*, it'll download 240 MB of data.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet patched our tree up to 2.6.18. I'm still
busy with cabling up my cellar. (Already put 300m cables into the
walls, should come to an end soon:-)

$ git diff master..vax4linus
