I agree that `git-annex` is a wonderful solution (far better than `git-lfs` IMO). However, it's reliance on symlinks really sucks for Windows developers.

FWIW, my main issues with `git-lfs` include:

- doesn't reuse git's authentication mechanisms
- all data is only looked for at a single location (i.e., no multi-url remotes)
- fork-based workflows get confused when data is added and removed across some history that you rebase on (it will complain about the missing object but there's no nice way to fetch just that object so you can push without `git lfs fetch --all`)
