Okay, done:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
orgmode@org:~$ du -sh org-mode.git
225M    org-mode.git

orgmode@org:~/org-mode.git$ find objects/|wc -l
6523

orgmode@org:~/org-mode.git$ git gc
Counting objects: 52023, done.

orgmode@org:~/org-mode.git$ du -sh
56M     .

orgmode@org:~/org-mode.git$ find objects/|wc -l

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I lowered the git auto-gc threshold from the default of 6700 (loose
objects) to 1000.


orgmode@org:~/org-mode.git$ git config gc.auto 1000
