> Hi Infra,
> OCW's new git repo has a good deal of bloat in the pack files. There were a number of large binaries checked in at one point along with files/presentations/misc. stuff left over from the donation of the repo. The repo ends up being about 550 MB in size and a number of users aren't even able to do an initial clone of repo. It times out for some and for others it just takes a ridiculously long time.
> We've used [1] to clean the repo and push the changes up to a fork on Github for testing. We were happy with the results (dropped the repo down to ~4 MB) and we wanted to push the changes up to the ASF, however the pre-receive hooks are denying our pushes (forced or otherwise).
> Can you run [1] on the repo and push the changes up? The exact command we've used was [2] for reference.
> [1] http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/
> [2] java -jar bfg.jar --strip-biggest-blobs 700 climate/
