git gc on bitbucket

Question

Hi, Atlassian team.

I have cleaned my repo by running BFG Repo-Cleaner into a mirror clone and pushed back to remote. In my machine the repo had reduced the size as expected, but in bitbucket it had increased.

I think I need someone to run git gc in my repo, so the old history will be deleted.

I don't want to publish the repo name here because privacy issues. But it's the only one big in the workspace cdavis..., with more than 900mb.

Thank you,

Nando

Hey @Fernando M_

Thank you for confirming. I believe the issue is due to the PR caching old large files. To reduce the repository further, we need to delete both PRs in the repository. Let me know if you'd like to proceed with deleting the PRs.
