git count-objects -vH
count: 0
size: 0 bytes
in-pack: 8543
packs: 1
size-pack: 759.11 MiB
prune-packable: 0
garbage: 0
size-garbage: 0 bytes

 

Does the git gc needs to be run by the bitbucket team?

 

Thanks!

Hi @buglocalizer 

Garbage collection must be performed at the server end to finalise the overall size of a repository (by clearing out dangling commits). This does execute automatically, but only once a certain garbage threshhold is met.

I've gone ahead and triggered a gc manually, this has reduced your repository down from 1.1GB > 759MB - your workspace is no longer exceeding 1GB.

Cheers!
