[llvm-dev] git question about disk space

[Alex Brachet-Mialot via llvm-dev]

It’s almost impossible to reach 100GB with code. You’d have to be using it
for other media which is what github is trying to avoid presumably. You
won’t get anywhere near these limits so you’re safe to fork llvm without
worries.

Best,
Alex
