I have a gitlab free-tier account and this morning I found that we have exceeded our 10GB limit, and so I used BFG to remove them from the history and should now be well under the limit but I can't push the changes to the repo.
It seems like I need to have the quota temporarily increased, so I submitted a ticket to the support portal but I immediately got a reply saying that the ticket was closed because I do not have a paid account.
Is there a way around deleting the project and creating a new one? I would like to keep all of our issues, wiki pages, code reviews, etc....
