Is it possible to conserve space by removing old versions? Let's say I am not interested in kernel versions before 2.6.15 - is it possible to remove them from repository cloned from one of "official" ones (Linus or stable).

Description of git-prune suggests that it may be possible by removing tags from refs/tags; OTOH I may have commit chain that will prevent them. Also won't those tags come back after git fetch --tags?

TIA
