Handling large files with git

Ever wanted to manage large binary files with git? Even received “out of memory” exceptions when trying to push large object packs? This seems to be a common problem users have with git. And there are two solutions to this problem: git-annex and git-media.

These applications enhance git, in that large files can be tracked by git, but do not need to be available in the repository. The files can be selectively retrieved from a remote location when required.
