Hi Idris,

Once a gc has been performed locally - it must also be performed on the server-end to finalise the changes.

I've just executed a gc and the size of that repository has reduced from 3.4GB > 150MB.

Please ask all users of the repository to remove their local copy and perform a fresh clone to avoid pushing back old refs.

Cheers!
