Huh, just curious - the information page says that pulling from trunk
will bring down ~4 gig. With a fresh pull of the AOO340 branch, it's a
mere 1.8 gig, is that about right? 

Is the mention of 4 gig's for needed space accounting for needed space
during and after a build?

Just curious - Thanks,

Yes, that sounds about right if you only pulled "main". Pulling 
"ext_sources" and bootstrapping would be another 420MB.

Subversion keeps a local copy of the checked out files in its .svn 
directories to speed up diffs etc. This doubles the space requirements. 
In Subversion 1.7 the .svn repository structure has been revised so the 
space requirement may be a bit better.
