Large files with Git: LFS and git-annex

The problem **FOR ME** with git-annex is platform support. I deal with platforms that have a C compiler, a kinda-sorta-C++ compiler, and that's it. I use git annex but coupled with plenty of out-of-tree copying that is a pain. I've yet to try git-lfs. It doesn't feel like it fits into my uses that naturally are multi-upstream.

LLVM may eventually make this moot until the next great back-end. Not because of licensing but rather timing. Stupid patent issues, being honest, and horrible things like those.

[BTW, is that coffee shop in Bristol still around? Haven't been "downtown" since I moved. At that point in our trip we don't want to stop.]
