Here (on Cygwin) it worked... Firstly, I did

$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git emacs.git

and its size was

$ du -s emacs.git/
1,1G    emacs.git/

then I did

$ cd emacs.git/
$ git gc --aggressive

Total 735546 (delta 589814), reused 143177 (delta 0)

which took almost 3 hours to be completed.

And the size is:

$ cd ..

$ du -s emacs.git/
327M    emacs.git/

which seems very good!
