What is size of source code of full chromium-os when downloading using repo init and sync? (how big?)

[Grant Rostig]

I'm doing the initial setup to work on the full source code of chromium-os as documented here:

https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-guide

I got to the point of issuing these commands:

repo init -u https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/manifest.git --repo-url https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/repo.git

repo sync

It appears to have consumed about 15 gig of network transfer so far.   I'm not familiar enough with git to know how to evaluate the size of the repository (repo) I'm trying to download.

I'm not sure how much more it will transfer.  Yes, I pay for bandwidth by the gigabyte and I have a slow connection running around 1 megabit.

I'm not sure how to interpret the output below, but it seems to be repeating the same or a similar step.  Am I in a loop, or is the source huge?  Who huge?

Any help appreciated.

I guess I can see that it is not in a loop because it has incremented from 140/142 to 141/142.  But I don't now if that 142 is just for this section of the repository, or the whole thing.

The "du -sh" command on the project directory previously just said about 6.0 GB, which about half of the transfer I have paid for.

.....tick-tock...tick-tock.....

Well as it turns out the transfer has just now finished (while typing this reply) and "du" now says it is taking 13 GB, which is similar to what was transferred. 

I don't know if doing "sync" caused "du" to properly reflect what had been transfered.

Just for the record, here is what the final output of the sync is:
