Short on disk space ? Using Git?
$ git fetch --all --prune (1)
$ du -sh .git && git gc --aggressive && du -sh .git (2)
13M .git
Enumerating […]
6.5M .git
1 | Drop all removed upstream branches. You may check if you want to keep them, they are still listed as dangling commits by git fsck before you git gc . |
2 | Compress the repository and see how much it worked ; can be up to 50% |
It needs some available disk space and a lot of CPU & RAM to perform git gc --aggressive . It can take all the available RAM and swap for hours. A simple git gc might be considered for big repositories.

Thanks to @mmu_man at m.g3l.org for the tip.
Something similar exists for svn
:
$ du -s -h .svn && svn cleanup && du -s -h .svn
1.5G .svn/
785M .svn/
On a virtualbox svn checkout, it saved 700 MO.
