Gitlab LFS migration doubles reposize

Same here!

LFS doubles the repo size shown in GitLab. Is that expected?

I checked why it could be the case. After cloning the files are under .git/lfs/objects/* AND their corresponding location in the repo folder.

Does that mean that git LFS basically “by default” doubles repo size? Why would it keep the same files twice?

Edit:
I have set up a test repo and uploaded the same project. Suddenly the size is half. So maybe a bug with gitlab?
