Run garbage collection on repository

Felipe Augusto Teodoro

Hi Atlassian team,

I’ve rewritten my Git history and reduced its size. But when pushing to remote, it reports a much larger size. Could you run garbage collection and recalculate the repo size on your end?

This is for the repository [REDACTED].

If needed, I can send a direct message with the exact repository URL.

Thanks very much!

Hey @Felipe Augusto Teodoro

We've run the garbage collection on the repository. The size has now been reduced to ~5.1MB.
