I'll probably test this myself, but would modifying and committing a 4GB text file actually add 4GB to the repository's size? I anticipate that it won't, since Git keeps track of the changes only, instead of storing a copy of the whole file (whereas this is not the case with binary files, hence the need for LFS).
well, it wouldn't be 4G because text compresses well, but if the file changes drastically from version to version (say a quarterly report), the diff won't help.
