Remove large commits from git

Question

We\'re running a central git repository (gforge) that everyone pulls from and pushes to. Unfortunately, some inept co-workers have decided that pushing several 10-100Mb jar file

Answer 1

GForge guy here. Even thought this is primarily a git question, I'd like to offer two things:

1. Starting in GForge 6.3, site admins can identify projects that are using too much disk, as well as old and orphaned projects. This might help you avoid full-disk situations, especially if you have lots of separate teams and projects.
2. Implementing git hooks (SCM hooks in general) in easy to do in GForge. Site administrators can configure any number of hook commands, and project-level people can then select which hooks they want for their project. Adding a hook that prevents certain types (or sizes?) of file would be a good fit for this feature.
