title: Estimate the size of a Git repository before cloning it
body: <p><strong>Is there any way to estimate the size of a public Git repository without having to clone it?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I'd like to use this information to make sure the repository is smaller than a certain size. If it's not, I don't want to clone it.</p>
  
  <p><em>I know it can be done on Github but this repository is hosted on a dedicated server.</em></p>
