Ever tried importing these 186.2 MB into a new remote repository? — Martin Zeitler, Dec 16 '19 at 03:34
Might be something to do with a fork? Has the repo you’re cloning been forked? — Ry-, Dec 16 '19 at 03:43
you could compare these repositories with [git-sizer](https://github.com/github/git-sizer/). — Martin Zeitler, Dec 16 '19 at 03:48

It could be a repository where git gc was not run from a long time.

Start by creating, then deleting a branch directly on the BitBucket site (not locally): that should trigger a git gc on BitBucket.
See then if the warning persists.

If not, try a reflog expire + prune --expire + git gc --aggressive, followed by a push -f, as done in "How to cleanup garbage in remote git repo", to see if that helps.
