Vendored templates are too large for repo
Problem to solve
Project Templates (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/32420) right now work by cloning an exported project from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/tree/master/vendor/project_templates. These can be large and it is inefficient to store compressed files in a git repo.
Upon completion it would be good to prune the history of these files from the repo.
Target audience
Internal
Further details
N/A
Proposal
Identify a way to include/bundle these without storing them in git.
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Repository is smaller.
