If it is the .git pack that is the problem, you can keep it out of the
tarball by creating a file in the main package directory (where
DESCRIPTION lives) called ",Rbuildignore". Put a line in that file that
reads
\.git/(.*)
That will keep anything in the .git folder from being included.

Hi!
This is my first message to the mailing list so apologies if I am breaking any
guidelines.
I am submitting a package called Ribostan and the build report gives an error
that the package tarball exceeds the size requirement. I am also being warned
that individual package files exceed the 5MB size limit.
The total size of a fresh clone of my package is 5.9MB, but 3.9MB of that is
from the single packfile in .git/objects/pack. As I understand, the packfile
contains the history of all files that have ever been in the repository,
including files that have been deleted.
I am wondering if this packfile is what is inflating my package size in the
build and whether there is a solution to reduce its size. In case it is
relevant: at some point a 1.38MB bam file was committed to the repo as toy data
for running examples, but has since been deleted. I am also wondering why an
individual file is reported to be exceeding 5MB when I don’t see any such file
in my repo.
Any advice would be very welcome!
Best regards,
Gabriel
