I just tried to download revisor git with this command "git pull http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/revisor master". I have to repeat 4-5 times since it breaks during downloading. The .git folder is about 58MB. After "git gc --aggressive" it becomes only 6MB.
Anyone please run gc on server?
Perhaps better would be repack. There was a recent thread on the git list and one of the developers pointed out an older mail from Linus where he described gc --aggressive as "mostly dumb" and recommended that using something like "repack -a -d -f --depth=250 --window=250" instead.
See that. The repack command is so hard to remember, while "git gc" is fast enough and also runs repack, AND the .git folder becomes 6.6MB without --aggressive...
I guess the only problem is git version on server is too old, AFAIK new git will repack automatically when commit or push or before fetch (?)
