Pywikibot finished GIT migration. Now a question has anybody ever
tryed to clone and use the e.g. the pywikibot/compat repo on the TS?
If I do, I get and .git folder of about 200MB which nearly fills my
home quota. (this is the plain clone - nothing done to/with it yet!!)

Running  git gc --aggressive --prune brings it back from 178M to 14M. As a comparison: an SVN checkout of trunk is 34M, of which 15M are externals.

I've CC'ed Chad, who possibly knows whether there is anything we can do to improve this on the server side -- is there any way to transfer this optimized repository instead of the 200M one?

I asked about a solution of the 200M everywhere. The best option is cloning shallowly
