OK, I now made some experiments with a typical library
(2 MB object code, 2MB library size) comiled with Visual C++.
Just completely recompiling the library (unchanged source) and commitiong again
gives a repository growth of 7 KB (0,15% of the "commit size")
If I add one member function (to approx 40), which means that I also changed
the header and had to recompile some other classes, and commit, the repository
grows by 130 KB (3% of "commit size").
My interpretation of this is that "representation-sharing" works well enough
for compiled C++ code, i.e. if I change 2% of source code and commit the
changed objects and libs, then typically a comparable amount (+/- 2%) of the
object code is additionally added to the repostory and the remaining +/- 98%
can be reused from previously committed object code.
