Ah, I tried various things to reduce the repository size but not that
one. Thanks - done. CCed to debian-ssh@, since anyone else who's
already cloned the repository will probably want to do likewise.
(I suspect, FWIW, that part of this will have been because nothing else
was managing to prune the converted revisions which were replaced by
merges from upstream's git mirror.)
