There are about 1300 branches against addons, let's hope half of them are against trunk addons (blessed addons), instead of uncertified/community extra addons. Which means that rough guestimate 70GB are wasted by openobject-addons.

These have common history, and long histories after release (v5.0 is a
couple of years old and is still somewhat maintained, v6.0 released in
february and very actively maintained, v6.1 is "imminent" release)

$ bzr missing -d lp:openobject-addons/5.0 lp:openobject-addons

SET 1:
lp:opneobject-addons
lp:opneobject-addons/5.0
lp:opneobject-addons/6.0
- have common history

SET 2:
lp:opneobject-addons/extra-trunk
lp:opneobject-addons/extra-5.0
lp:opneobject-addons/extra-6.0
- have common history

But the two sets have no common history in between themselves.

(sometimes subdirs are "promoted" from SET-2 into SET-1 with `bzr rm' on
one branch, `cp' and `bzr add' on the other side)

As far as I know it used to be a one massive svn repository.
