Hi all, I meet with a strange problem:
I've two repositories, with sizes: - A: 6.1G - B: 6G Both A & B have been 'git gc' with: git reflog expire --expire=now --all git gc --prune=now --aggressive Since A & B share many common files, to save disk space, I'd like to merge them: (note: branch of A & B are independent, i.e. have no common ancestor.) git clone --bare A C (cd B; git push ../C master:master_b) Repo C's size has grown to 12G. Doing a 'git gc' again, it drops to 6.2G. I expect that 'git push' push only new files and commits, which will save lots of space. Yet it turns out I'm wrong. Since Repo A has been published, pushing branch of B will double the repo size, which is impossible for the storage limit. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
