I think `git lfs`, from the package "git-lfs", might help reduce
the size of large data oriented repositories. I have been
skimming through Salsa and Gitlab documentation, and I believe
this should be supported by Salsa as well. Salsa is said to
have all the features of Gitlab, and Gitlab advertises git lfs
support:
https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/git/lfs/index.html
However, I never have had the occasion to use git lfs yet. I
only heard about it first during the presentation on "datalad".
But it sounds like it might be worth a try.
Kind Regards,
