The size of the folder .git grows bigger after a time of usage or after many time of deleting big files. I've a repository with 600MB of working data and 2GB of folder .git. \r\nAs I know that's because the Git system keeps  in the folder .git  the old versions of my files even the deleted files. I have searched on internet for deleting the old history of the repository GIT by the command \"git filter-branch\" and \"git rebase\".\r\n\r\nBut when I can delete the old history on the remote repository, It seem that I have to re-synchronise all the repository (it's like i have to clone a new repository again) because the repository became totally different, the tree and all the hash of commit change.\r\n\r\nDo you have any solution to delete the old history in the repository without re-clone all repository again?\r\n\r\nThank you in advance for your response.","html_url":"https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/issues/385","title":"Support git-annex","number":385,"id":2058960,"created_at":"2011-10-26T17:05:28Z"},"action":"created","comment":{"user":{"avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e9b3f9f56922839a4d46a8f0d7dcd6a9?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","gravatar_id":"e9b3f9f56922839a4d46a8f0d7dcd6a9","url":"https://api.github.com/users/fire","login":"fire","id":32321},"updated_at":"2011-10-28T14:09:05Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hbons/SparkleShare/issues/comments/2556408","body":"If anyone is interested, I am championing using git annex; I just want to focus on Gitlabs first and then SparkleShare.
