I think one can safely relax a bit from such restrictions. Git stores files, that's all. The only thing to consider is that a file pushed sooner or later gets fetched from all participants, so 10 GB disk images are indeed not a good idea.

Regarding disk usage: deleting these commits also deletes the files. As does deleting a branch made for the discussion. The cost of creating a branch is close to zero, branching does _not_ include file copying[1].


That said: glad to see you like the plan.
