Just to keep in mind while implementing the above. + +* git-annex could support git-lfs pointer files. This would let a lfs + repo be cloned and git-annex used to manage the files in it with the + finer control it allows compared to git-lfs. + +* A lfs API endpoint could serve out of a git-annex repository. + One neat thing this would allow is, when git-annex knows an url + where an object is located (from the web special remote or another + special remote that registers an url), it could direct the lfs + client to that url when it requests to download the object.
