Hi,
This means that BFG cleaner didn't get rid of all the files. You can trace back the .pack file to a commit in your git log.
You can follow something like this post on github, https://github.com/18F/C2/issues/439 to find which file relates to the .pack file you mention.
Best,
Nitesh

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:
