SummaryAI, from the source post

This post introduces the integration of git-annex with GitLab Enterprise Edition 7.8, enabling versioning of large binaries by storing symlinks in Git and the actual binaries separately. It details how this integration works, its benefits for managing large files, and provides usage examples. It also notes the deprecation and eventual removal of this feature in favor of git-lfs.
