Right now we have a truncated history because of some very large files in the original history:
$ git rev-list --objects --all --missing=print | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' | sed -n 's/^blob //p' | sort --numeric-sort --key=2 | cut -c 1-12,41- | $(command -v gnumfmt || echo numfmt) --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest | tail -n5

But we can just delete them from the related commits, and keep the repository size low while retaining history.
If we do that we would have to rebase our existing patches, and keep the current master as old-master or something like that to keep the references alive.
