Hi folks,

I wonder why git-lfs is needed to efficiently handle large files in git. Would it be reasonable to integrate this functionality into the native git?

Please excuse me asking. I read some pretty scary articles about rewriting history, asking everybody to clone existing repositories again, and strange errors if git-lfs is *not* installed. Apparently this is a one-way street, so I didn't dare to install git-lfs yet.

Regards Harri
