Why the hell anybody should do that?

We have a gitlab server and we use a git repo to version images, css and javascripts.
The hard disk is not to big, so we have to remove history sometimes.
We do this only for this git repo, don't worry ;)

@erivello: Then why not simply use git gc --prune=now? Also using Git to version binary files is bad idea. Maybe it will be fixed in 2.0, but I bet that it won't.
