Subject: Re: Reducing Git Repository size - git-filter-repo doesn't help

Message-ID: <PH7PR12MB77959E90F52C59140ED662DBF1FC9@PH7PR12MB7795.namprd12.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Thank you for looking into this. 

I have removed all the unnecessary refs on remote, and rerun the filter-repo and force pushed the changes again.
To be be sure, I have also requested Github support to completely nuke the refs/pull and clear cache etc.

Also would like to let you know that git-filter-repo --analyze (which was also suggested by EriK), causes OOM in my case (also tried running in github actions with huge swap, but it exceeds 6 hours timeout limit).

I have verified size reduction (after running filter-repo) using:
`git gc && git count-objects -vH`

Thank you once again for the help
