Yes, and that is only one revision. SVN is terrible!

As far as I remember from SVN, it keeps a full (uncompressed) copy of
everything you checked out side the hidden ".svn" directory. That's how
SVN can do a diff comparison.

Git doesn't work like that at all. Git stores history as compressed
files, and only deltas of each commit - never full copies of managed
files. The complete history of Indy (in Git) is the size of a single
revision checkout in SVN.

You don't need to do that. Simply open the indylaz.lpk package and click
Compile. After that, Lazarus IDE will automatically be able to find the
Indy source code, no matter the location on your hard drive.
