[Koha-devel] git repo size (restarting a discussion)

It's rather a matter of unused git object pruning.

With:

  git clone --mirror git://git.koha-community.org/koha

You get a repo whose size is 280M.

Then with:

   git gc --aggressive --prune=now

You drop repo size to 138M.

I suggest to do some maintenance on community repository.
