Over time git repositories become bloated with old data, but never get cleaned.
I can't find an official way to clean up the crud, so I did this:
```sh
usermod -aG soft-serve $USER
# Log out and back in for this to take effect.
cd /var/lib/soft-serve/data/repos
sudo chmod -R g+w *
git config --global --add safe.directory '*'
du -sh *.git
for repo in *.git; do
git -C "$repo" gc
done
du -sh *.git
$EDITOR ~/.gitconfig
# You should remove having everything marked 'safe'.
```
