Subject: Why Git LFS is not a built-in feature
To:     git@vger.kernel.org

Currently, having to set up git-lfs in each client and checking server
compatibility is a huge barrier for using it in the first place,
whilst it is generally a good practice to store large files in lfs.

As a consequence a lot of repos are not using it when they should.

Is there any reason that we don't have built-in support for such an
important feature?
