For clang 18.1.5, the llvm-project-source repository is about 3GB big, whereas the source tarball is 126MB big. Using the source tarball instead of the git repository speeds up the fetch step significantly.
Also, the git repository is getting so big that depending on the network setup, it is necessary to change git http.postBuffer options in order to avoid errors such as "fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet".
'Approve' if this change would be acceptable in the codebase (even if there are minor or cosmetic tweaks that could be improved).
'Request Changes' if this change would not be acceptable in our codebase (e.g. bugs, changes that will make development harder in future, security/performance issues, etc).
'Comment' if you don't feel you have enough information to decide either way (e.g. if you have major questions, or you don't understand the context of the change sufficiently to fully review yourself, but want to make a comment)
