🧽 Cleanup the git repository

[martinbonnin]

We have a few very big (~70MB) objects in the repo:

100644 blob 6c02eb80dc21f77dcaff356cbe9279a0a70285b3 77003153	apollo-sample/libs/apollo-gradle-plugin-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-all.jar

Everything works and no one ever complained about this to my knowledge. But still it's a bit annoying. The problem is that removing them will require rewriting the history.

I'm opening this issue so that we remember this and can gather feedback whether we want to rewrite the history or keep things as is.

While it might not be an issue for contributors (it's relatively easy to rebase an existing pull request), it's an issue for links. Is someone made a permalink to a file, rewriting the history will lose that link forever 😢

[martinbonnin]

Closing. Breaking links is not cool. If we want to remove those, we'll have to create a new git repository.
