The Google Code to GitHub exporter seems to do a pretty bad job at finding
good deltas; I've seen other projects that were exported with it and had a
similarly bloated repository. I would probably be a good idea to contact
GitHub support and ask them to perform an aggressive gc on the server so that
first-time cloners don't have to download so much junk.
