I'm trying to get rid of some large objects in my .git repository
using git-filter-branch. These are remnants from conversion from
CVS.
Q1: How can I figure out what it is in .git that takes so much space?
Q2: Where can I read more about what to do after running git-filter-branch to
removing the offending objects?
1. I ran this command to get rid of the offending files and that appears to
have worked. I can't find any traces of them anymore...
git filter-branch --tree-filter 'find . -regex ".*toolchain\..*" -exec
rm -f {} \;' HEAD
2. Running "git gc" takes a few seconds. The repository is still
huge(it should be
perhaps 10-20mByte).
du -skh .git/
187M .git/
3. I tried "git reflog expire --all" + lots of other tricks in the
link below, but no luck.
I tried the tricks I could find in this thread, but no luck:
