Tangent: I see example.jpg added to the main repo, just for the readme. If you don't want to store binary blobs, there's an alternative: open a new issue, then copy-paste the image into the issue. It'll give you a link that you can use in a readme permanently.

This is another small step to being depedent on GitHub for hosting your project. A “git clone” won’t clone images hosted in the issue tracker.

  It won't, but it will still be displayed when rendering the readme, just like if it were hosted on any other webserver. Of course only as long as the webserver is around, but still better than adding several MB to your repo just for a few screenshots.

    If it's only a few MB, I'd value the ability to backup the image together with the rest of the repo more than shaving a few MB off the repo. (Also, hi Kilian. Long time no see.)

      Depends on the "worth" of the image I'd say :P And hi!

Or host it somewhere else like imgur.

I wish GitHub would add support for that in README files directly.
