The quota includes not just the git repo, but also other services that gitlab offers. In particular the container and package registries are easy to setup in a way that accumulates a lot of data (e.g. by building and tagging a docker image in every commit and not cleaning up old images).
In most cases this will be a misconfiguration and all the quota enforcement is doing is to force people to configure their projects a bit more considerate.
As far as I know, the quota itself isn't new, it just wasn't enforced in the past.
- Beltalowda 4y agoGitHub limits the package registry to 500M for free accounts, so 5G doesn't seem so bad. Git repos themselves usually don't take up that much space; all my 135 projects on GitHub are ~250M combined (quick count, could be off a bit, but roughly on that order). Even larger repos at $dayjob with daily commits typically take up a few hundred M at the most. Basically you need to either be in the top 0.1% of highly active accounts or do something specific that requires a lot of disk space, but for most people 5G doesn't seem so unreasonable.
