Hi folks,

Following the import of some of the older history of source releases into the 
libtiff source repository, I've now repeated the same for the "pics" releases 
of sample TIFF images.


https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff-pics is the new repository.  Is this name OK?

https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff-pics/-/merge_requests/1 is the first MR to 
update the README.  If anyone has any opinions about the image licensing 
requirements in the last paragraph, I'd be interested in feedback.  It would be 
useful to have contribution of new images using new compression algorithms and 
tags etc., and so it would be useful to have some agreement on what we can 
accept and redistribute.  I've just put some placeholder text in there 
regarding CC licences, but if anyone has any better suggestions for wording, 
I'd be interested to hear.

The repository is using "Git LFS" for storing the image data.  This should make 
the repository a bit more lightweight when cloning since it will fetch only the 
image data required for the current checkout, so it should scale better as we 
add more image data.

With the images in version control, we can also look at using them in the 
LibTIFF CI for integration testing.


Kind regards,
Roger
