Hi,

We are doing svn to git migration. We had around 5 big binary files ( each is around 700MB ) in SVN. So just deleted those files and migrated to GitHub. Now git source codes' size is less only. But git object pack is more than 8GB. I think because of these binary files revision. Shall I can remove these particular revision history ? Or anyway other way is there to clean up? We need remaining files' history.
