Noticed this while cloning the repo on a new machine.

Currently, {see}'s .git folder is 1.76 GB.
For a comparison, {ggplot2}'s .git folder is 700 MB.

I will do some research on this, but if anyone has ideas, let me know.

The issue here is probably lots of old versions of figures stored in the commit history. Running git gc might help, or we might need to do a more aggressive garbage collection to prune items or maybe truncate the commit history to some more recent commit
