For disk saving purposes I would like to be able to extract the history of a
file (or all files) in the repos to a file that it backupable. Also to be
able to insert the extracted file back so that the history of the file(s) is
recoverable (if need be).
Is it possible to find out how much space a file is using in the repos?
