Probably normal, what branch pattern are you syncing? My guess is that
you used nvm.cshore* or similar, and it's your first push. If this is
the case, the server will think it doesn't have anything relevant so
you'll end up sending back all of nvm (up to your branch point). Later
pushes shouldn't do this, since the server will know that those revs are
ancestors of your branch and will include them in it's list of what it
has. Using a more inclusive sync pattern (like nvm*) will also solve
this.
