Towards a production quality open source Git LFS server

What this post added

This post details GitLab's decision to fork and improve GitHub's `lfs-test-server` reference implementation to achieve production-ready Git LFS support. It outlines the challenges with large binaries in Git, mentions previous support for Git Annex, and explains the rationale for not reusing GitHub's test server directly due to its user management components. The post also announces the plan to integrate Git LFS support into both GitLab CE and EE, with an estimated alpha release in GitLab 8.1 and beta in 8.2.
