I think it would be better to track binaries that way. LFS comes with new repo conversion utilities, but I'm not sure if they require rewriting history.

If we did this, I'd like to add the release-built vsix to the repo so people can grab unreleased or old versions without having to build themselves.

I don't know if this is still a thing, because all releases are still hosted and available here on github: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/vs-sourcetrail/releases

If you do this, consider rewriting your history (all of it, everywhere). If you don't, make sure you test going back and forth between commits on either side of the switch to LFS. It's been a while since that's come up for me, but historically doing that was a recipe for disaster (e.g. modified working files that are super-duper hard to get rid of).
