Request Garbage Collection

[Edward Lynch]

Hi - I have cleaned up and rewritten the history on a large repo but Bitbucket shows the size has grown larger to 2.7GB. Could a garbage collection be run on the remote side for us? The object count git command is showing it should be around 211MB now.

Hi @Edward Lynch 

It's actually expected for a repo to increase in size after performing maintenance operations, as it creates garbage that needs to be cleaned from our side with a server-side garbage collection.

I've executed a gc against your repository and it has reduced it from 2.7GB to 212MB.

Cheers!
