Can definitely save a ton of space used by Git though: git config --global core.compression 9 && find / -type d -name .git -exec git -C {} gc --aggressive \;

Git history gets ridiculously bloated over time. Compacting it all with git gc --aggressive helps a lot. Setting core.compression to 9 gets a little bit more out of the zlib compression. Most size wins come from converting loose objects and smaller packs into unified packs.
