FYI, so far, here's all I've done: head=a4a5c910c73f0bf2b7d063912274461838139423 git update-ref HEAD $head git update-ref master $head That should be enough for now. However, I'll bet there are now a ton of useless-to-gdb references (tags and branches) and commits taking up lots of space. If anyone can say which tags and branches can be removed, I'll be happy to remove them and prune all associated commits. At the same time, I'll compress the whole server-side repo to a more reasonable size. Currently it weighs in at around 500MB. Let me know.
