From: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
After cloning with --filter=<filter-spec>, for example to avoid getting unneeded large files on a user machine, it's possible that some of these large files still get fetched for some reasons (like checking out old branches) over time.
In this case the repo size could grow too much for no good reason and `git repack --filter=<filter-spec>` would be useful to remove the unneeded large files.
This command could be dangerous to use though, as it might remove local objects that haven't been pushed which would lose data and corrupt the repo. On a server, this command could also corrupt a repo unless ALL the removed objects aren't already available in another remote that clients can access.
