Since Git LFS support in GitLab is targeted at both CE and EE, do you expect to open up the EE-only git-annex support to CE as well since the two features serve similar purposes?
Edit: "GitLab," not "GibLab," haha.
Thanks for asking. Right now the plan is to keep git-annex EE only. Git Annex can do some neat tricks (multiple storage interfaces, etc.) that Git LFS can't do. But I agree it is not a very congruent situation. We might reconsider when Git LFS is production ready.
What storage backend(s) are you planning to support?
For now just files on disk (NFS block devices) I think. Of course an s3 compatible interface would be cool to have.
