It seems git calculated (because of the import?) very inefficient
deltas beetween the commits.

After doing a  git gc --aggressive  the repo shrinks from 55 MB to
9.2 MB for me.

So for future migrations it might make sense to do that in the
converted git repo before pushing.

I contacted GitHub support to ask if they can do that on the repo.
