Could you provide some examples of your directory structure especially
for all your tags? Are your tags all on the same directory level? If
yes, that's probably the reason for large sizes of res files because
each commit in a directory replicates the complete directory structure
for this directory.

There were some discussions about this in the past, which I'm always

Besides that, you could try a complete dump/load cycle to use
representation sharing for all your data, but this only helps if your
file contents are the problem, of course.
