Big is only once a problem. It's a one time (very big) file/download. Try to 
get it somewhere with good connection (or by CD). The .git subdir is all you 
need.

To keep track a modem-line is enough.

It's far better then svn. For modem users already the detection of moved files 
and doing the move on your PC is outstanding. Think of a big picture moved 
with svn: delete it in the first place, download as new to the new one: 
horrible. 
(I'am a git fan.)

Try to learn it. It's worth it.

Do you have the patches you used ready to send me via PM?
(I'll try my best to make something working ...)
