Neat! Does this improve Git's support for large binaries generally, or is it necessary to have introspection into any filetype you want to support? Is there g

  Kart repositories are also Git repositories - they're 'interopable' in the sense that there is a lot of tooling that will work, but the storage structure for vector data differs, and using Git on a Kart repository won't work very well. Kart serializes vector/tablular data into datasets in the repository, and manages the process of writing them out to useful working copies (GeoPackages, or into databases). For large binaries - rasters and pointclouds - we're using LFS. We include some additional spaital information into pointer files to enable some very useful GIS functionality, like spatially filtered clones (this works for vector data too).
