I noticed that gnulib.git was consuming nearly 700MB, so did this:
$ du -sh .; git gc; du -sh .
692M .
Counting objects: 78817, done.
Delta compression using up to 4 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (19078/19078), done.
Writing objects: 100% (78817/78817), done.
Total 78817 (delta 63009), reused 74442 (delta 59695)
Removing duplicate objects: 100% (256/256), done.
35M .
That should help.
I'm a little surprised my doing something like this manually
makes a difference. I thought it was supposed to happen automatically,
but haven't looked at that part of git in a long time.
Maybe a config setting?
