Ok, it works now. My new git repository is only 60Mo. But :), I would like to make up my public repository based on this "light" repository. And if someone has the big repository, I would like him to be able to pull my public repo into his one. But since I used grafting to "cut" my light repo and .git/info/grafts file is not copied during push/pull/clone operations it's not going to work. Is it a scheme that could work ?

Moreover, I'm wondering if my public repository really needs to store big repo's pack files as it is described in git tutorial ?

Thanks
