Or indeed git-fat, or any of the other attempts to support large data files in a git repository.

Large File Storage

Having had a look at how it works, it appears to use exactly the same mechanism as git-fat, where it uses a smudge filter to translate files as they go between the index to the committed tree object.

I'm just concerned that the result will be yet another weird proprietary extension. git-fat at least used the wide-spread rsync daemon as the backend for file storage.
