Letting git-gui compress it for me didn't help. Neither did git-gc, even with the --aggressive flag. I noticed that I had a lot of loose files in .git/objects, and suddenly I remembered that there was a command called "git prune". Finally I was able to get rid of those loose objects. The problem here is probably mostly that I couldn't get any help from git-gui or git-gc. git-gui claimed it would fix the problem for me, but failed. git-gc didn't mention that it left a bunch of files untouched. --=20 David K=C3=A5gedal
