Can not force push after file size reaches hard limit

[Li Tan]

Hi, 

    after repository file size reaches 2GB limit, i tried to use git reset --hard HEAD~1 and git push --force to rewind the repository back. 

    but after i run the commands for a few times, the size increased even more to 7.4 GB and i can not force push anymore.  

   it returns me the error 

remote: abort: repository is in read only mode (over 2 GB size limit). Learn how to reduce your repository size: https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/xgMvEw.

fatal: unable to access 'https://otanlio@bitbucket.org/redeye_robot/all-stars-client.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Hi Li!

I've checked your Bitbucket Cloud account but looks like you don't own any repositories. Can you let us know the name of the repo you were referring to, so we can have a look?

Kind regards,

Ana

Hi, 

thanks for the replay, we contacted the support, after they  run a git gc on remote, the size is back to normal now.
