I never tried that size myself, but according to what I read on the
mailing list, that should remain within what Git could manage, maybe a
bit painfully.

The standard followup question in your case is: is the repository
fully packed on the server? If not, maybe "git gc" or "git gc
--aggressive" (expansive, but a one-time operation) could help.
