John, thanks for your hint.

Unfortuntely it doesn't help me much to have the repository data on 
another host, as this would also need to be a server where we run on a 
quota.

Also, I tried out the lightweight stuff locally, and found that commits 
done therein are directly stored in the original repo as soon as I use 
commit. This also means I cannot reclaim the space later when there are 
several branches in the repo and I need to get rid just off one branch.
