Storing large files somewhere else is a step towards the centralized model. But it's against initial design principles of git.

- Borg3 8mo agoExacly. Git supposed to be DVCS not generic DVFS. Choose right tool for right task. I needed generic DVFS to store my docs, so I wrote one. Its easy and quick and does it job :)
- kfjkfowlgkk 8mo agoAs explained, the storage backend in git is pluggable but still not flexible enough. There has been efforts to store git repos in torrents, and to store got repos on crypto blockchains, but all are big architectural challenges, for example people want everything to be backwards compatible for starters, and some want to be able to partially store some content somewhere else, while still keeping all existing use cases efficient.
- OneDeuxTriSeiGo 8mo agoNo it's not? It's simply an addressing model and interface. Sure you could use a fixed or centralised store but you could also use IPFS for example.
