Hi all,

I can mirror this sentiment. As far as my experience with git-annex
goes, it is a very flexible tool, but difficult to grok.

Although both are FOSS, only git-annex is mostly copyleft with the
(A)GPL3+. git-lfs I believe is copyrighted mainly by two large companies
(GitHub and Atlassian) under a non-copyleft license. Something to keep
in mind at least.

Best wishes,

Troy
