1) Afaik the OT is looking at only checking out. He isn't planing on 
making any (local) commits.

2) yes, for every changed file you commit, a new blob is added (and new 
tree objects too).
 From a users point of view, each blob contains the entire file (changed 
and unchanged parts).
But git compresses those blobs.

So in the end, the disk space used is not that bad.
Still of course, it is significantly more, if you do a full clone, 
rather than just a shallow (depth=1).

I don't know how big your ".svn" folder is, if you checkout a current 
fpc/lazarus.
But as it was pointed out, cloning with depth=1 gives you about 50 MB of 
compressed data, for files worth over 300MB.
