System Information
Operating system: Arch Linux

Blender Version
Broken: 3.0

Short description of error
Saving a project with a linked object increases the size of the file and makes the next opening of the file to crash.
Test.zip

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Test.blend
In the Outliner right click on the "Building" object, and click ID Data > Make Library Override
Save the file and close
Open it, save again and close (repeat this until the file fails to open)

Is there any workaround at the moment?

This is caused by a giant amount of hidden dependencies (objects in the asset collection), and a bad behavior of resync process.

Will prevent resync to happen on ID overridden with the single 'Make Library Override' call (since they are not part of an overridden hierarchy, they cannot be resynced in practice anyway). This will fix that specific case (for new files, not existing ones).

In general, it is much better practice anyway to put all dependencies of a to-be-overriden data into a single ancestor collection, and link/override that collection...

Please also note that there are still improvements on-going here, especially regarding the resync process.

@nacioss work around would be to disable the automatic resync option in 'Experimental' section of user preferences.

Makes sense, thank you.
Putting everything under a Collection in the Building.blend file and linking that collection and then doing Make Library Override Hierarchy works fine.
