Bug#1072498: qa.debian.org: vcswatch fails to update dpkg repo due to size limit
Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hi!
It seems vcswatch is having some issues with the dpkg git repo, and it
complains that it is too big, exceeding 500 MiB.
From https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/vcswatch?package=dpkg:

ERROR:
Git: https://git.dpkg.org/git/dpkg/dpkg.git
Branch: main
Path: debian/changelog
Repo size: 532504576
Browser: https://git.dpkg.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git
Last scan: 2024-05-30 17:43:01+00
Error: Repository size 532504576 exceeds 500 MiB, blocking it
Repository is blocked

A clean checkout takes around 100 MiB, so I assume the copy that is
being updated has not seen a «git gc» for a while?
Thanks,
Guillem
