git/ isn't 2.3G. du says 95M but it's ~25 M because 4 files are hardlinked to each other.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported discrepancy from the included du output and inspect the disk-usage calculation entry point. Trace how hardlinked files are counted; done means hardlinked files are counted once and the displayed directory totals reconcile with actual usage.
