Source Control: biggest known usage of SCM?
I'm curious what those in the community know about 'big' users of source control. When I say 'big' I mean 3 things: 1) disk space volume, 2) number of files, 3) number of new versions per year.
I'm evaluating the possibility of using source control for a rather large set of files and I'm curious what others have experienced with their servers.

I'll try and help by providing some pointers to our current usage internally in IBM. First, we track the size of two repositories on our wikis, the first is jazz.net and the second our internal SCM test server.
jazz.net:

scm large data set test server:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/SCMPerformanceScalability#Current_large_data_test_server
To help understand the rate of change on our team, on jazz.net we've added roughly 45K new files and 150K new versions in 3 months. All this in 8K change-sets. This equals an uncompressed file footprint of 28.6GB and compressed in the DB is 13.9GB.
BTW, I'm getting all this from the built-in reports we have about the repository sizes. See the bottom https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/PerformanceScalability for an explanation of the reports.
