Maybe at this point it shouldn’t be hosted or even mirrored on GitHub.
CocoaPods and Homebrew both hit similar issues in the past with huge work trees by hosting all their specs on GitHub, resulting in breaking workflows for their users.
Those projects made changes to their workflow to mitigate this. Since the source here is around 6 months old, have LLVM done something similar?

- newaccount74 4y agoWasn't the problem with brew that they were (maybe still are) using the git repo as a content delivery network? As I recall the problem wasn't the repo size itself, the problem was millions of users have to do a "git clone" to update homebrew and it overwhelmed Githubs infrastructure.
