Request for git gc on repo

Hi,

 
I've successfully run garbage collection against your remote repository in the back-end to clean up any dangling commits.

The repository size has not reduced, however.

I'd suggest executing the following command to view the largest files stored in your git commit history:

git rev-list --objects --all \
| git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' \
| awk '/^blob/ {print substr($0,6)}' \
| sort -r --numeric-sort --key=2 \
| numfmt --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest

Once you have this list - please follow our documentation to reduce the size of your repository. I would recommend making use of The BFG Tool which is described here under the *"Removing Large Files"* heading to convert existing files to GIT LFS so that these may be stored outside of your repository and therefore reduce the repository size:
https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/reduce-repository-size/

You can also simply reduce the size by deleting those file extensions from your repository altogether if they are not needed, please refer to the BFG documentation below with an example command:

• https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/

• java -jar /path/to/file/bfg.jar --delete-files "{*.x,*.x}” ~/path/to/repo/x.git

Let me know how this goes - once ready I can execute a subsequent gc on the server end.

Cheers!
