Expected, yes.

I guess this may be expected. The repository uses techniques to
compress consecutive versions by storing only the difference. If there
is no prior version it uses gzip methods to self-compress the file.
So, with 20% of the original size (assuming you're versioning source
code - containing largely tabs and spaces) the size decrease is even
disappointing, I'd say.

HTH,

Erik.
