After discussion on the infrastructure mailing list, it appears that this issue would be difficult to solve. We will search for alternative (either ignore the 3 Mb file, or try switching from SVN to Git).

> A 3 Mb binary file has been committed on SVN in a branch of Apache SIS (https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sis/branches/JDK8/) and immediately mirrored on Git (git://git.apache.org/sis.git). I presume that we can not delete that binary file from SVN history, but it would be nice (while not critical) to remove that binary file from Git history for lighter clones by users. This commit has never been merged to trunk or master.
> A clone has been created on Github with two commits squashed:
> https://github.com/desruisseaux/sis.git
> The squashed commits cancel the inclusion of the binary files. Would it be possible to perform a "push --force" of the JDK8 branch from this clone to git://git.apache.org/sis.git and to https://github.com/apache/sis? We are stopping commits on SVN in the meantime.
> If this issue can not be fixed, its okay. It is only a "would be nice" action.
