Support git-lfs? #160

Open wlandau opened 2 years ago

wlandau commented 2 years ago

I am trying to use gert with git-lfs, and it looks like it does not work out of the box.

library(gert)

writeLines("contents", "file.txt") writeLines("file.txt filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text", ".gitattributes") git_init() git_add("file.txt")

But it does work in the Linux terminal.

```sh
$ echo "contents" >> file.txt
$ echo "file.txt filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text" >> .gitattributes
$ git init
$ git add file.txt
$ git commit -m "First commit"
$ ls .git/lfs
objects  tmp

From https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/375 and https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/issues/1236, it looks like libgit2 + git-lfs is not automatic. Is this something at all feasible in gert?

I would also be very interested in git lfs support.
