Much faster this way, thanks Tor,
But it still gives the same result 88MB
$ git branch -a
* develop
  master
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/develop
  remotes/origin/develop
  remotes/origin/experimental
  remotes/origin/gh-pages
  remotes/origin/master

Finally I have deleted my public repo on github, created a new one and pushed master and develop to the new empty one.
