Thanks but it seems like a highly undesirable soloution to me.<br>
<br>
Firstly it seems to require mangling your git repo. That is going to
make it at best a PITA to use with things like dgit.<br>
<br>
Secondly AIUI git-lfs stores every version of the file seperately.
If so then one would very quickly blow through the default storage
and bandwidth limitations for githubs lfs offering.<br>

<pre class="k9mail">I have recently started pushing source for packages where we carry modifications for in raspbian to github. The packages are imported into git using dgit.
However I have discovered that this is not possible for all packages. In particular github rejects files over 100 megabytes and the current libreoffice package has a 107 megabyte (upstream) ChangeLog in it.
You might want to bear this in mind when considering packaging workflows that may involve github.
