Can we store all our downloadable files in git? #41

From What is my disk quota?:

We recommend repositories be kept under 1GB each. This limit is easy to stay within if large files are kept out of the repository. If your repository exceeds 1GB, you might receive a polite email from GitHub Support requesting that you reduce the size of the repository to bring it back down.

I suspect that the repository currently weighs in at under 1 GB, but I'm not sure how long that will last, as they continue to add more downloads.

Copying all these large files might also slow down Jekyll, but I'm not sure.

If this were a normal repository, I'd consider using Git LFS or just storing the large files in an S3 bucket, but I'm not sure how equipped we are to use those solutions with respect to ATOs, training the PCLOB folks to leverage them, etc.

As of right now, I believe we've got all the files we need in the repository, and my .git directory clocks in at 192 MB, which doesn't seem too bad.

I'm gonna close this, seems like we're good to go for the forseeable future.
