I didn't say versioning large files isn't a reasonable thing to do, I said it doesn't make sense in git. How is it supposed to work? The LFS way where you're storing a pointer to an external http resource? Just put a script in your repo to fetch that then. Or maybe stick the data in git's merkle tree and have a really slow repo? Why bother with LFS then? |

One obvious improvement would be for Git to use the hash of the object rather than the pointer file when calculating tree hashes. That makes the storage method for the actual files independent of the commit hashes.
People have mentioned several other VCSs in this thread that do it already.
