how to shrink a repository

Hi Yves;

you may have followed the threads about LEAF upgrade...

Today we do have a package repository with for packages

https://sourceforge.net/p/leaf/packages/ci/master/tree/

The summed packages size is about 300MB; but .git/objects is about 5,6GB.

I have an idea how I (mis)managed it.

First question, how can we bring down the repository to a reasonable size?
I don't need any history, previous commits, whatelse - just the latest 
commits.
Even those can be removed if you have a better idea how to work with 
packages...
Which leads to the second question - how can we provide a repository with 
latest/stable/versionx packages and avoid to have it grow that much?

thx kp
