>LLVM is surprisingly small, actually - a git clone comes in at just under 900MB

That's a little bit on the small side, but it's still very manageable. For comparison Linux's .git folder comes in at 1.3GB on my computer, and LibreOffice's repo which has git history going back to the year 2000 weights some 3.6 GB. I can happily say that I haven't had any performance or space problem dealing with either full repos, even on my fairly weak laptop.
