Just for comparison, here are the numbers for mercurial:

ben at sarun[1]: .../rtems/rtems-4.9.0 > hg --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 0.9.5)
ben at sarun[1]: .../rtems/rtems-4.9.0 > hg log
changeset:   0:8b3cbc67b25f
user:        ben at sarun
date:        Sun Feb 21 21:29:10 2010 +0100
summary:     import release 4.8.1

ben at sarun[1]: .../rtems/rtems-4.9.0 > time (hg addremove && hg
commit -m'import release 4.9.0')
# ... long output elided ...
