Is it possible to increase the repository limit of 2 GB ?

[Karthik Reddy Vasipalli]

Hi team,

We are planning to migrate from Visual SVN to Bit Bucket Cloud. Before migrating, I just want to know if there is any possibility to increase the 2 GB hard limit per repository on Bit Bucket Cloud.

Presently my SVN repository dump is of size 11 GB, please advise how can we do the migration.

Hello @Karthik Reddy Vasipalli,

No, unfortunately this is not possible in Bitbucket Cloud. The limit of 2 GB is in force mainly because Git is not very good when dealing with large repositories, some operations start having significant performance overhead. Please check out this article for some details.

I assume that you have some large files (potentially binary) in the history of your repository. I'd suggest to try make use of Git LFS for such files. The size of files stored in Git LFS doesn't count into the repository quota, so the repo stay well under 2 GB while having gigabytes of data in LFS storage.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Daniil
