Have you decided on the P2P FS or distributed FS we will use? OS has to be a minimal FreeBSD or debian (unless you know of a smaller one we can deploy).
Unless you want to make the VPS a proxy. And use Fossil, git is huge (10.2MB) and structurally complex (built of C, shell scripts, Perl). Although Mercurial, Monotone, and CVS defeat in in size.
