Next time you should use the Git mirror instead. A clone/checkout with
full history of the FPC project is around 50MB (last time I checked).
SubVersion checkouts have double the files (to produce diffs) - the
normal ones and the hidden copies in the '.svn' folders scattered in
every directory - plus some other SubVersion overhead files. It's crazy,
hence I use Git [plus some other benefits git offers over SubVersion].
