I was really taken aback by this given my previous experience with the Linux kernel git repo size. So, I just checked out Graal.

Receiving objects: 100% (981372/981372), 187.08 MiB | 6.39 MiB/s, done.

% du -sh graal 328M graal

% du -sh .git 221M .git

And that includes many binary files that were added and removed over time, but not filter-branched out of existence, including jars, pngs, pdfs :)

Huh... maybe I have a degenerate copy for having it so long and I should try running the compression commands myself.

See also “git prune” to remove references to branches and objects no longer on the remote server. Check the docs though I think in some cases I might delete local branches or objects so make a backup first.
