I see what you mean -- you want one that already has a long history,
w/ branches, etc, right?

Subversion's wouldn't do, it doesn't really have many branches nor

Try poking around the sourceforge stuff:

  http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/<project>-cvsroot.tar.gz

My tarball is just shy of a floppy in size, but I don't use
branch tags.  (s/<project>/AutoGen/)
