Comment (by arma):

 It does seem like deleting the git branch won't reduce the repo size. It's
 equivalent to deleting a pointer to a commit -- all the commits will still
 be there.

 If we want to make the old approach work on github/gitlab, we probably
 want to throw out the repo periodically and then put new tor browser files
 into a fresh repo.
