A good benchmark to test strategies to split inventories
(per-directory or so) ?

I think there are some better strategies, like "as soon as we've added
the equivalent in size of the last full copy (or twice, or ...), make
another full copy. I guess you get thit 7MB hunk every few kilobytes
only in many cases.

I believe Mercurial has some good algorithms for this. Or at least,
they say so ;-).
