Yes, or mid-size. Japan is to Europe what Europe is to America in terms of car sizes. E.g. vans within the Kei (keijidōsha) classification pretty much don't exist in Europe, but are common in Japan.

Neither is favored, git-annex solves problems that git LFS doesn't even try to address (distributed big files), at the cost of extra complexity. Git LFS is intended more for a centralized "big repo" workflow, git annex's

I'd be curious to see if you've tried git-annex, I use it instead of git-lfs when I need to manage big binary blobs. It does the same trick with a "check out" being a mere symlink.

To expand on this: It also explicitly provides for an opt-out to preserve the neutrality of countries like Sweden and Ireland, such a clause being added at their insistence. I suspect that when the rubber hits the road nothing would happen,

Seems relatively easy to implement by having your "make" step commit to git, then on a compilation error show the diff alone with the error. Then simply rebase out the intermediate steps before pushing.

Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure IBAN is universal (or almost so) for all EU bank accounts at this point. Thus consumer debit cards have in IBAN associated with them. Now, it may not be the fully formatted ISO IBAN number, but
