Cloning it that way didn't help either, But I have more info If I set a bare repo and push my four branches to it (master, develop, gh-pages and experimental) the total size of the repo is 2.4MB (instead of 87MB) $ git init --bare en4j_xx $ cd en4j $ git checkout master $ git push file://$PWD/../en4j_xx master $ git checkout develop $ git push file://$PWD/../en4j_xx develop $ git checkout experimental $ git push file://$PWD/../en4j_xx experimental $ git checkout gh-pages $ git push file://$PWD/../en4j_xx gh-pages $ $ du -sh ../en4j_xx 2.3M ../en4j_xx So, how can I find the contents present in en4j that are not present in en4j_xx?
