Cloning the library takes a long while about then HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi @crarau,

Using a beta version of the cocoapods gem to publish the library temporarily changed the remote as discussed here : CocoaPods/CocoaPods#5771

This happened at the same time this issue occurred and we never pushed files that big, the project is supposed to be a few megabytes tops.

So this leads me to believe that somehow a part of the Cocoapods repo got imported into the git :/ Indeed the large part of the repo is found in .git/objects/File.pack. I've tried lots of approaches till now to no avail :/ This is kinda making me crazy at the moment :)

Side note : This also happened locally on my machine on other repos, but I realised this before syncing and could delete my local project before propagating this issue.

In the meantime, you can get the bundle via the release page here :https://github.com/freshOS/then/releases

I'm very sorry for the inconvenience,

@maxkonovalov If you have any ideas ^^ In the meantime I'm going to try and reproduce what happened to try to understand how we can reverse it :/

from then.

I think I had a similar issue in one of my projects, somehow git started tracking Cocoapods remote instead of my repo. I fixed this by removing all remotes and re-adding them afterwards. Not sure if it's the same thing here though.

@s4cha maybe the large size of the repo can also be connected to the included zip-archive releases?

from then.

This is really weird.
ykyouhei forked 5 commits ago https://github.com/ykyouhei/then and doesn't have the issue.
So it validates that it happened in the meantime but the commits in between are mostly readme updates...

Using https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/ I have tried to no avail
the 400Mb packfile is transformed into a 200Mb one which is still way too big for such a project :/

java -jar bfg.jar --strip-blobs-bigger-than 2M the
// then
git reflog expire --expire=now --all && git gc --prune=now --aggressive

running

git log --all --full-history -- Specs

Finds commits that are on the Cocoapods repo
for ex:

commit 94fe92aee6163817fde73a488a99ee650e8f70e8
Author: noppefoxwolf <[email protected]>
Date:   Tue Nov 8 02:41:57 2016 -0500

    [Add] ZappingKit 0.1.6

Something is very wrong here...

from then.

I've made a fork and I'm no longer having the issue: https://github.com/crarau/then The clone of the fork is as expected, fast.

from then.

Thanks to @Ptr-mat precious help, this issue is now solved!!!
2 tags from Cocoapods were copied into then repo. So deleting them removed the 450MG commits!!

from then.

@crarau if you can validate we'll close the issue :)

from then.

All good now!

from then.
