git binary files

[enetheru]

hey, so i couldnt find a more appropriate place to put this,

Ive been cleaning up some of my repo's lately because i had committed large binary blobs like zips and stuff and though to myself what does spring contain?

the repo size is roughly 180mb by itself, and running the script from this page:
http://stubbisms.wordpress.com/2009/07/ ... aist-line/

shows:

Code: Select all

All sizes are in kB's. The pack column is the size of the object, compressed, inside the pack file.
size   pack   SHA                                       location

so removing only the single largest file reduces the repository size by 23%ish

removal can be done with http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/

I know that this is almost entirely pointless(except for people on 3rd world connections), and most people wouldn't care, but I thought I might chuck the info out there anyway.

imo if we really have problems with a to big repo, we should just create a new repo with current contents, rewriting git history will invalidate all git hashs.
