[Development] Overly large Gerrit fetch in QtBase...?!

[Marc Mutz]

Hi,

Today's git fetch gerrit pulled in 70MiB of new data:

  $ git fetch gerrit 
  remote: Counting objects: 50860, done
  remote: Finding sources: 100% (41981/41981)
  remote: Total 41981 (delta 21723), reused 29355 (delta 21723)
  Receiving objects: 100% (41981/41981), 70.13 MiB | 362 KiB/s, done.
  Resolving deltas: 100% (21723/21723), completed with 754 local objects.
  From codereview.qt-project.org:qt/qtbase
     e52fcb7..531a2b1  5.6        -> gerrit/5.6
     47aad8f..8d8c7b3  5.6.2      -> gerrit/5.6.2
     6cbd982..fa2aef5  5.7        -> gerrit/5.7
     829c59a..84830fc  5.8        -> gerrit/5.8
     b012f55..f510a51  dev        -> gerrit/dev

that's extreme, compared to the size of the .git, here from a repo copy I 
didn't fetch, yet:

  $ du -sch .git
  212M    .git
  212M    total

Is there an explanation? It could indicate a manipulation of the git history, 
even though I didn't see anything funny on a cursory look through the commit 
ranges git fetch presented...

Thanks,
Marc
