I'm totally not surprised that large repos exist, without having fallen prey to any antipatterns. Just saying that I know "have you committed any binaries, dependencies, generated code, etc" are the first questions I tend to ask when somebody tells me their repo is massive. In part selection bias, though, because usually the people working on super old projects know exactly why.
