Counting objects: 539769, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (127621/127621), done. Writing objects: 100% (539769/539769), done. Total 539769 (delta 423801), reused 524422 (delta 411781) Removing duplicate objects: 100% (256/256), done. 155M . So I ran git's garbage-collector and that brought the size down to 155M. Note that if your own emacs/.git/ directory is larger than say 200M, you too can save some space by running "git gc".
