Hmm. If you're certain that you're cleaning up your repositories
correctly, then I must have broken the script at some point, because
this approach was definitely yielding results at one point. [1]

How did you generate the pngonly and svgzonly numbers?

No matter how good git's compression might be, replacing all PNGs with
highly compressed versions couldn't possibly produce a larger repo.
Obviously something is broken with the recompress script and old blobs
are hanging around.
