Repo size inaccurate
My repo as displayed online on the gitlab website is 135mb, whereas locally including the hidden .git folder on my computer is only 28.9mb. This issue began happening around week 3 or so when my repo size randomly blew up to around 140mb or so when my local files were tiny, and what I found is that in the hidden local folder on my repo .git had an objects folder with around 100+mb in it. What I did was deleted all my prior commits and repushed my entire site and after waiting 2 weeks the repository size didn't change and it is still super huge. I understand that each commit logs deletions, creations, etc, but 107 or so mb worth of commit data (local size - online supposed size) seems a bit absurd. When I rechecked my objects folder size after all the commit deletion, it went from 100+mb down to 10mb, but as I said, the repo size didn't change, so I looked into the possibility of garbage collection playing a role (from what I found online related to my issue) and that that old data was still present somewhere, but I have been fighting with it for a while and finally decided to post it on here since I haven't come up with any solution.
