This repo is getting HUGE! about hwsensors

[CozmoNate]

Should be better now, only 34mb... But... No more HWSensors.pkg inside

[RehabMan]

Super. Let me know where you plan to put binaries from now on? Since github deprecated the upload/download capability, I'm looking for an alternative for my project builds too. So far, I've found google code, but haven't tried it yet.

Well, it is better, now 150MB:

localhost:Projects Admin$ rm -rf kozlek.git/
localhost:Projects Admin$ git clone git://github.com/kozlek/HWSensors.git kozlek.git

I use this script to analyse:

#!/bin/bash
#set -x 

# Shows you the largest objects in your repo's pack file.
# Written for osx.

# set the internal field spereator to line break, so that we can iterate easily over the verify-pack output
IFS=$'\n';

# list all objects including their size, sort by size, take top 10
objects=`git verify-pack -v .git/objects/pack/pack-*.idx | grep -v chain | sort -k3nr | head -n 500`

echo "All sizes are in kB's. The pack column is the size of the object, compressed, inside the pack file."

output="size,pack,SHA,location"
for y in $objects
do
    # extract the size in bytes
    size=$((`echo $y | cut -f 5 -d ' '`/1024))
    # extract the compressed size in bytes
    compressedSize=$((`echo $y | cut -f 6 -d ' '`/1024))
    # extract the SHA
    sha=`echo $y | cut -f 1 -d ' '`
    # find the objects location in the repository tree
    other=`git rev-list --all --objects | grep $sha`
    #lineBreak=`echo -e "\n"`
    output="${output}\n${size},${compressedSize},${other}"
done

echo -e $output | column -t -s ', '

I don't know. Maybe there is nothing that can be done...

Hmm... It was only 34 mb after cleanup, but now I see my HWSensors folder is 320mb!

[CozmoNate]

Cloned from assembla - 34mb! So cleanup was ok, maybe I need to forced update project on GitHub someway?

[RehabMan]

Do you have a mirror somewhere?

[CozmoNate]

[RehabMan]

Thanks, I'll setup assembla repo as a remote from now on. Down to 26MB compressed:

localhost:Projects Admin$ git clone git://git.assembla.com/fakesmc.git kozlek.git
Cloning into 'kozlek.git'...
remote: Counting objects: 15998, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3628/3628), done.
remote: Total 15998 (delta 8185), reused 15967 (delta 8164)
Receiving objects: 100% (15998/15998), 26.58 MiB | 375 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (8185/8185), done.

Still a lot of junk in there which you will see if you run that script (posted above), but it is much much better. I don't know git that well, so sorry I can help you with how the heck you git your github mirror to pick up the deletions...

BTW, bummer that rewriting the history like this completely messes up any forks already created, because almost every commit is rewritten. I didn't have much that I needed/wanted to keep, so I just re-created using the one at assembla.
