8 years ago Got it Dylan. I was having trouble sending them to you via email and I knew you needed them for the presentation which is why I went that route. I'll use Dropbox or box next time.

These will need to be removed using git filter-branch or the bfg tool. This is a pretty big undertaking and will require a forced push afterwards and everyone who uses the repo must reclone after that. I'll deal with this eventually and send out emails to all users with instructions.
Please, as a rule of thumb, simply never commit image files. There are exceptions, but unless you are sure it is a good idea, simply never commit images. And, in general, think hard before committing anything over a couple of MB in size. We do have some large data in this repo, so things like our ascii grids are perfectly reasonable in version control. But we need to 1) keep vc useful which means not committing anything that can be created from data and code and 2) keeping the repo manageable for for students working on this sometimes over a slow satellite internet connection.
