Repo size not updated after history rewrite

Sotaren April 3, 2025

 

Hi, I used git filter-repo to remove large files and force-pushed all branches and tags to dunerobotics/lektionsakuten-ui.

The local repo is now ~350 MB, but Bitbucket still shows 1.4 GB after 6 days. Could you trigger a size recalculation?

Thanks!

Hi @Sotaren

Welcome to the community.

I can see the Git GC was run against your remote repository. Could you check if the repository size still shows 1.4 GB?

Thank you!

Yes, it still shows 1.4G though.

Hi @Sotaren

I can see it is now down to 360.7 MB.

Could you check if you're seeing the same on your end?

Yes, I do now! Thank you very much :)

@Sotaren Welcome to the Atlassian community

Atlassian will need to run garbage collection.  I have escalated this to them.

Hello, I have a similar problem albeit after using the BFG repo cleaner. Prior to the cleaning steps, and after rollback, the repo in question in the workspace was around 280MB but now after the steps, it is showing in BitBucket as 430MB, though the checkout is only 270MB.

Perhaps the Atlassian team could also run a backend garbage collection on my workspace repo or have a look if the cleanup was effective?

Thanks and regards, Gordon.
