alioth:/srv/git.debian.org/git/lintian/lintian.git> du -sh .
70M     .
alioth:/srv/git.debian.org/git/lintian/lintian.git> git --bare gc

So... we should probably figure out the best way to do this more often.
*heh*.  I think triggering automatic garbage collection and repacking is
probably the easiest way.  Does anyone know enough about the various Git
options in the git-gc man page or have enough prior experience to make any
recommendations?
