I've tried git gc before, but --aggressive option really surprised me. 
It cat the size down to 132 MB. It would be enough for GitHub, so we may 
consider using it.

Mozilla uses hg, not git. I know about two unofficial git repositories:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-mozilla/mozilla-central.git;a=summary
and on repo.or.cz, but both are not updated. I've imported it myself 
from hg repository.
