Issue attachment storage quota exceeded.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This issue is actually about this issue tracker and not about Hedgewars.

Well, yeah, there is this message at the bottom of the description field saying 
“Issue attachment storage quota exceeded.”. It has been this way for … 
years now?

Is there anything you can do about it? It annoys me to have to use other 
hosters instead.

I have looked around a bit and I have seen that a lot of issues use 
attachments, many of them are already closed. Maybe some space can be made free 
by deleting the attachments of old closed issues.

Here is a list of (hopefully) all closed issues with attachments:

I'm afraid, we'd have to contact Google and ask for a higher quota. Again and 
again. I'm not a big fan of that.

I did take the time to delete many many many attachments the other day.

The problem is that google code doesn't /really/ delete the attachments (the 
"Delete" button just changes to "Undelete" and the attachment becomes invisible 
to non-admins I guess).

So while I "deleted" dozens of attachments, the used attachment space didn't 
change at all :(

PS: Hm, it seems some of the deleted items are back (as in: not tagged 
"deleted" anymore), but corrupted/unavailable. I'll try deleting them again and 
see if that actually changes anything now...

From the FAQ:

“There are disk-space quota limits for both issue tracker attachments and 
total Subversion repository size, along with a limit on how many total projects 
you are able to create. If you hit these limits, please contact us via our 
Google Group or email google-code-hosting@googlegroups.com directly to discuss 
the situation.”

Maybe you could tell them that you are willing to free disk space and already 
have “deleted” files, but that the quota still applies. But I can fully 
understand that you are not very happy if that would mean you have to ask them 
again and again when the limit is hit.
