It is because I have left a log file in the downloads/code folder. Although I did not check in the file, it is copied into the _deploy folder and get committed for deployment.

Here is a solution:

1) Make sure the unwanted file is removed

2) Add *.log to .gitignore to permanently ignore this file type.

3) Download bfg to remove the redundant, big files in the _deploy folder

Here is the partial output from bfg
