Hey all. 

I'v been handed over a project that uses Git LFS for storing large CSV files.

My understanding is that the main benefit of using Git LFS is to keep the 
repository small for binary files, where Git can't keep track of the changes 
and ends up storing whole files for each revision. For a text file, that 
problem does not exist to begin with and Git can store only the changes. At the 
same time, this is going to make checkouts unnecessarily slow, not to mention 
the financial cost of storing the whole file for each revision.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Thanks
