Subject: [Bioc-devel] Issue removing large data files from git history
Hi,
I have recently moved my data to an ExperimentHub package and thus need to clean my statistical package's git history. I followed the guides from both the Bioconductor help page and BFG cleaner pages:
https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/remove-large-data/
https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/
These appeared to have worked, I set the limit to 5MB and pushed the changes. Now when I run the clean-up I get the following message:
Warning : no large blobs matching criteria found in packfiles - does the repo need to be packed?
So it appears nothing remains over the 5MB size but when I locally run BiocCheck() the warning message persists:
WARNING: The following files are over 5MB in size: '.git/objects/pack/pack-bb385fcbe4bf53b933abe467a62cd836461ac322.pack'
Does anyone have experience dealing with an issue like this? The repository is in the following location if anyone is curious:

Kind regards,
Alan.
