Okay, I take that back. The clones are significantly smaller[0], but at the
same time, I will argue that these git repositories should be as full as
possible, seeing as people using the -git packages should not be just
building them for fun, but should have a reason to be using these
unstable sources (ie: developing, testing, etc.). If you're using these
just for fun, then something is wrong.

It's like installing Arch: the first time it's all of the set up, but to
keep it up to date is simple. I use linux-mainline, and get the sources
from git. The original clone was pretty big, but pulling from git I think
it takes ~1M/week. 

This is still a -1 from me, unless it is configurable, though the vcs
urls are already pretty full (vcs+file::url#fragment=xyz), and I think
it should be on a per-repo basis, not in the OPTIONS array.

    (I don't know what I was thinking there...probably screwed up the
    git command when i tested it last.)
