That 41MB or lets say 200MB is spread over several months between releases. Pulling once a day from the git public repository, makes this barely noticeable. In the future there may be optimized protocols to handle this more efficiently.
You bring up a good point about backups though. Eventually it might be nice to have a utility that exports/imports a git repository in a flat file using deltas rather than snapshots. Such an export format would make backups and tarballs cheaper.
