Creator of the project here, would love to look at what an LFS style integration with git hooks could look like. Let me know if you have any ideas there!
A few starting points from personal experience would be
- Ensuring git-aware code editors don't try and mangle blob histories when they encounter them - Modern, high-performance blob downloads/version-resolution - Human-readable/debuggable meta-files, where it's easy to recover from bad states (instead of an opaque empty file with a GUID...?)
You'd also need for the blob encoder to be exceptionally stable - if minor changes to the input lead to significant changes to output, you're going to have a lot of trouble.
Something like Google's Courgette (binary patch generation) could help to simplify things, but an old thread mentioned a patent suit.
It's an early prototype to gather feedback around the ergonomics of the interface and the manifest format, and I would love to learn if people might find it useful enough for the use cases where LFS falls short.
