I cloned it, and on the clone, I added 2 small files (.gitignore and .gitattributes) to a branch, merged them to master, and pushed that back to the origin. The cloned repo remains at about 600MB, while my origin repo (the one from svn) is now about 2.4GB.

Anything I can do to shrink it? My coworkers are understandably unhappy that the repo is so huge now (makes for very slow pulls) Have you tried "git prune"? // Ben -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
