No those numbers are right although it might have been a checked out
FreeBSD ports tree. I just looked at a couple of the volumes we have on
our servers and extrapolated the RVM usage.

The checked-out freebsd ports collection contains many directories each
with only a few small CVS and Makefiles. So the RVM overhead is pretty
significant.
