You can use git-sizer for this purpose. Here it has been explained completely on how to do this process. Note that you need a local copy of your git to be able to do so.

To make it as a shell script:

1. Make a local copy of your git repository.
2. Change directory to there, run git-sizer in you shell
3. Echo the output to a file, you can strip the output to only give you the information you need.

Also, as a pure-shell workaround for SVN, I did this :

1. Update SVN
2. Run du recursively for the folders you need: du -sh --max-depth=x (X the depth of folder structure)

Technically, this is not a good idea to put max-depth to a high number. As your SVN might have astronomical number of files and folders in and this will bring a substantial overhead to your I/O and CPU. But it can help you write a useful script.
