I distinctly remember having cases where there were old PRs from before a rebase that ended up pulling in multiple gigabytes of data, but I cannot seem to figure out which repos they were anymore.
Of the larger repos I've looked at quickly it seems the difference for most of them are roughly 100-500MB. For Linus' linux repo the difference is 446MB, 113MB for rust.
Since I can't really find the really nasty cases anymore, I guess you can feel free to reject it, though I still think that the change is more morally correct, and even a 500MB difference can affect some user Just because I wanted to look at the numbers (percentage increase is more interesting that absolute value), here is what I get for rust:
git clone --mirror: Download: 506.98 MiB git clone --bare: Download: 406.00 MiB So that is a decent overhead.
