How did you manage to do that? Using these steps (which have been
added to the postprocess.sh script):

---
run git filter-branch --index-filter \
    'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch release/osx/matplotlib-0.98.5.tar.gz' \
    -- 750059aa09340^..
rm -Rf refs/original
rm -Rf logs

run git reflog expire --expire=0 --all
run git prune
run git repack -f -a -d --depth=250 --window=250
run git gc --prune=0
---

I only get down to 65 MB, at which point "git fsck --unreachable HEAD"
indicates a slew of unreachable blobs, trees, and commits, one of
which is:

3b8b6c010f8ce59afac1e811b1bbc3efc21b770a release/osx/matplotlib-0.98.5.tar.gz

yet "git log --pretty=oneline -- release/osx/matplotlib-0.98.5.tar.gz"
shows it is no longer associated with any commits. Rerunning the
"reflog/prune/repack/gc" block doesn't seem to help at this point.
