Subject: delete deprecated refs to release disk space
Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2011 19:10:33 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111113151033.GD16065@external.screwed.box> (raw)

Hello.

I use git for sql database backups:

    http://gitweb.vereshagin.org/endvance/blob_plain/HEAD:/endvance/README

Am wondering if there is a way to remove the expired revisions? Following that
scenario:

    https://gist.github.com/1362183

I think there should be the way to decrease the space that .git takes. Without
compression, of course.

No problem if this involves the overwriting of the history like  filter-branch
does.  But filter-branch doesn't seem to be able to remove the old  info  from
repository based on expiration time, does it?

Thank you.
