From: Vitaly _Vi Shukela <public_vi@xxxxxx>
Proof-of-concept "external storage" for big blobs using filters.
This is rather high-impact thing, expect a great slowdown or other
inconsistencies
Files are uploaded on a server each time Git attempts to read them
When checking out, files are downloaded from the server, so it should be
mostly transparent for user (except of slowness)
SHA-1 hashes are stored in Git instead of actual file content
