Has anyone experienced their repository growing from 161 MB to 14 GB, suddenly? Everyday?

I understand the typical scenario, a repository grows over the limit of 2 GB and support has to run a gc, and/or other protocols are followed to reduce the size of a repository.  The thing is, in our case the repository grew from 161 mb to 14 gb suddenly while we are pushing to it.  Support ran gc for us and told us to take a new clone of the fixed repo which I had all developers do.  Well it happened again within 24 hours.  Now we are on this continuous cycle where I have to create a case with Atlassian asking them to run gc for us.  Sometimes they do it within 5 minutes, but lately it takes them 5 to 6 hours and we just don't have the luxury of time.  I'm appealing to the community to see if anyone had this odd behavior, or if this is typical of a repository's behavior.

We have run gc's, prunes, took a new clone.  I mean, surely we are not pushing over 13 GB's of garbage to the repository, we would know that it would take forever.  I think something is inherently wrong with the repository on the server side.

Hi Richard, welcome to the Community!

I haven't seen anything like this happening as a rule, can you give us some more info to put some context into this issue?:

  1. Does it happen often?
  2. What kind of contents do you have in the repository? Does it contain binaries?
  3. After which operation do you experience this growth?
  4. If you clone the repo and perform the same operation, does its size increase that much?

Let us know!
