You don't need to do this manually. Just go into the mask manager (left
hand panel in the darkroom view), press the right mouse button. On the
menu that appears you select "cleanup unused shapes".
In your case the huge number of invisible shapes comes from the spot
removal tool. The root cause lies in a combination of two facts.
darktable does not delete shapes automatically and spot removal shapes
do not appear in the mask manager. So even if you reset the spot removal
tool all shapes created will still exist in the data set and you do not
even know because the mask manager does not tell you. We should consider
how to change this behavior.
In the time being you can manually clean up unused shapes with the
method described above.

Well, I was able to edit them with sed script to remove all masks, but
parsing XML to find used/unused masks is beyond my skills (I'm not
familiar with XMP standards). I believe future DT releases should sort
this out in some way. At least for this issue is very critical, it
slows down opening/closing files in my library multiple times.

Hello,
I can confirm this for the latest version in the darktable-2.4.x
branch
(commit edf1168371be288f071986d93a47fb3e082573de). The sidecar files
seem to contain an awful lot of masks, but I can't seem to see which
module even uses them?
cheers,
Simon

It looks like I was able to find what action causes this problem.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download, unpack and import as folder — https://drive.google.com
/ope
n?id=14sZLgnpZSV5W3pw1K_8owHW29Heq9EWz (don't pay attention to
content
and settings)
2. Choose second picture and click (in lighttable mode) copy
history
stack and choose, let's say, 'shadows and highlights' settings.
3. Apply it (paste) to first picture, open it, compress history
stack
and close DT.
4. Now compare XMP files, first one is twice bigger than second one
(in
my case ~700kB vs ~1400kB). Meanwhile in darkroom mode history
stack
looks the same.
Can anyone comment, what is going on here?
