mmm does this require a push -f to the remote repo?
I can do this, I thought it was already good to enable "from next import"

Almost, thanks. But that doesn't add files already commited to lfs. Look into 
https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/wiki/Tutorial#migrating-existing-repository-data-to-lfs
for migrating old data. 

It it worked your iso should have a small "lfs" icon next behind to its
filename, see my lfs test repo:

Hi, 

your repo on salsa wastes a lot of space for your iso, please consider
using git-lfs on salsa. 

Thanks
