I've been using git + git-lfs to manage, sync and backup all my files (including media files and more) and it's quite convenient, but native support for large files would be great. I'd for example really like to be able to push large objects directly from one device to the next.

At the moment I'm using my own git server + git lfs deduplication using btrfs to efficiently handle the large files.

If large objects are just embedded in various packfiles this approach would no longer work, so I hope that such a behaviour can be controlled.
