If I have a large model that I've hosted on GitHub using git-lfs, the GitHubConnector only clones the placeholder file instead of the actual large file.
This is because the base images don't have the git-lfs extension installed by default.
~TODO: If the huggingface connector "just works" here without the extra dependency, we should maybe just nudge users to host on huggingface instead of github.~
~Otherwise, if both connectors have this secret dependency, we need to rebuild the images with RUN curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/github/git-lfs/script.deb.sh | bash && apt-get install git-lfs~
Update: huggingface connector indeed doesn't need this.
Acceptance Criteria:
the github connector should emit a friendly warning to nudge users to use huggingface instead of github if it detects a github repo using git-lfs
