Thanks to you and Nicolas for the hint. It worked.

If I can make a suggestion: description of git-repack is a bit misleading

"git-repack(1)

This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently
reside in a "pack", into a pack. It can also be used to re-organize
existing packs into a single, more efficient pack."
