title: What is the advantage of git lfs?
body: <p>Github has a <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/conditions-for-large-files/">limit</a> on push large file. So if you want to push a large file to your repo, you have to use <a href="https://git-lfs.github.com/">Git LFS</a>. </p>
  
  <p>I know it's a bad idea to add binary file in git repo. But if I am using <a href="https://about.gitlab.com/">gitlab</a> on my server and there is no limit of file size in a repo, and I don't care the repo size to be super large on my server. In this condition, what's the advantage of git lfs?<code>git clone</code> or <code>git checkout</code> will be faster?</p>
