git LFS support

[dseynaev]

lib2git seems to support this through smudge/clean filters

any idea what would be necessary to get lfs working with git2r?

Would be nice indeed to be able to work with Git LFS enabled repositories from R!

I apologize the late reply. I have not used git-lfs with libgit2 so I do not know what is required. If you find any example of how it works and are interested in implementing it, a pull request is much welcome.

I recently had a problem that git2r::clone and git2r::pull did not reproduce the behavior I would have gotten from running git clone and git pull on the command line, because it was an lfs repo.
