I just tried it in a clone of git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs,
which should be similar.

Before the gc, .git/objects used about 1 Gig of disk space, per du(1).

Git gc --aggressive allocated just over 5 (binary) Gig of VM, and
dirtied most of it, to compress 733141 objects, according to top(1).

An 8 Gig VM should do it without paging.
(DO's price for an 8 Gig is 11.9 cents/hr; Atlantic's is about the same.)

The gnu time(1) output is:
