This is impressive.  Mozilla has 10 years of history in their
SubVersion repository totalling 12Gig of information. SubVersion also
requires over 240,000 files in a single directory to handle the
+240,000 commits. Converting that repository with full history to Git
used only 420MB. See the URL below for details - "Small Space
Requirements" section.

Regarding this question. Git does handle eol characters if required.
See the "Line Ending Conversion" section.
