Announcing Git Large File Storage

I looked at git-fat as an option for me, but what killed it was rsync as the only backend; I really wanted to send files to S3.

I also looked at git-annex, and I could see using it if it were just me on the project (or as a way of keeping fewer files on my laptop drive), but I was reluctant to add any more complexity to the source control process, since explaining how to use git-annex to the entire team was too big of a barrier.

Thanks for the feedback. There is a PR for S3 support, but it's dormant because it was mixed with other changes that broke compatibility. I haven't personally wanted S3, so haven't made time to rework the PR.

Ah, that is my fault. We're using the fork quite actively, but need to revive that PR and improve the config settings.
