270MB is gigantic for a git repo.
But it's not an issue /per se/. The issue is slow clones/slow pulls, not so
much the 270MB on your hard drive. The slow clones/pulls can be improved by
re-packing the git repository on the server side -- this helped
significantly for the pywikibot repositories. I'm not sure if this has been
attempted for mw/core yet.
