Just remember, the mininum billing increment for file size is 128KB in real AWS S3. So your Git repo may be a lot more expensive than you would think if you have a giant source tree full of small files.

That 128KB only applies to non-standard S3 storage tiers (glacier, infrequent access, one zone, etc)

S3 standard, which is likely what people would use for git storage, doesn't have that minimum file size charge.

See the asterisk sections in https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/

Thank you for highlighting that, I had remembered it wrongly.
