Ask and ye shall receive.  They manually ran an aggressive gc pass, and now:

uqbar[junk]> dsize ipython
4.8M	ipython/IPython
7.2M	ipython/docs
11M	ipython/.git
-----------------------------------------------
Total (including smaller dirs not shown above):
23M	ipython


So all new cloners will now have a much more reasonable download.

Github is awesome :)

Cheers,
