Well, it'll be as large as the master Subversion repository, or the
subtree portion that you mirror. You can mirror subtrees of a
repository.

If you have multiple working copies from the same mirror, then it'll
be less, presumably.

I thought the issue was the number of files in the working copy, so
this will help here.
