--- Comment #2 from Merlijn van Deen <[email protected]> ---
A normal gc run might not be enough:



$ git clone https://git.wikimedia.org/git/pywikibot/compat.git pwb-compat

According to the docs, it uses a more aggressive repack command:

"The optional configuration variable gc.aggressiveWindow controls how much time
is spent optimizing the delta compression of the objects in the repository when
the --aggressive option is specified. The larger the value, the more time is
spent optimizing the delta compression. See the documentation for the --window'
option in git-repack(1) for more details. This defaults to 250."


I couldn't find anything on jgit gc/repack, except for the following, which is
something that probably should be considered before running a repack outside of
jgit:
