Greetings,

[ Message sent last 22 June and today to debian-qa@lists.debian.org ]

I am having trouble with the Salsa git repos for my package (upstream also)
minexpert2. The ddpo page
(https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/vcswatch?package=minexpert2) says this:

minexpert2 (9.2.1-1) [PTS] [DDPO]
ERROR:
Git: https://salsa.debian.org/debichem-team/minexpert2.git
Branch: master
Path: debian/changelog
Repo size: 1096462336
Browser: https://salsa.debian.org/debichem-team/minexpert2
Last scan: 2023-06-20 15:29:01+00
Error: Repository size 1096462336 exceeds 1 GiB, blocking it
Repository is blocked

I have reduced the size of the repository recently as a response to this message
and now, when I look into

Settings->Usage quotas, the GitLab interface of Salsa tells this:

Git repository.  325.6 MiB

Now, when I click onto the "Scan now" button of that ddpo page, nothing changes.
What is it that I am misunderstanding on the whole repository size problematic ?

Thank you for your kind attention and for your help,

Sincerely
Filippo

How did you do that?
On a local git repo I can do `git gc --aggressive`, but I have no idea if such
a thing is possible on a repo hosted on Salsa and if it's possible, how to do
it.
