Size of the stable-queue git tree

Hello everybody,

I pulled the stable-queue tree just now. This was not an inital clone, but only an update. My previous update was end of last week I was surprised I had to download 1,19 Gb to download.

Can somebody explain why this was so large ? This is probably the first time I notice this. Usually, updates are much smaller.

Thanks in advance,

François Valenduc
