From our meeting, @demon specifically called out .jar files being important in this workflow.
Contenders are:
- git-fat
- git-lfs
- git-annex
There have been some problems with git-fat rehydrating files on targets, but at this point it's unclear if those problems are the result of the interaction between trebuchet and git-fat, or are git-fat specific.
@demon mentioned in IRC that git-lfs is https-only and requires a special server implementation—which may not jive with our current dumb-transport-via-tin implementation.

The canonical implementation right now is closed source at Github. There's a couple of implementations but most seem pretty immature and none are in Python.

git-annex has released a feature to make it even easier to work with large binary files, https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/unlocked_files/
