You shouldn't use Git LFS

• git-lfs

  Git extension for versioning large files

  

This is what I was thinking too. There's really nothing about Git LFS that should come as a surprise. Yes it rewrites history, but how else are you going to cut bloat from the repo after it's been stuffed in there? And the fact that the file is stored on something completely outside of git is clearly and concisely explained as the main text, directly above the download button, on https://git-lfs.github.com/

> Git Large File Storage (LFS) replaces large files such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server like GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise.

  Simple way to handle fat files without committing them to git, supports synchronization using rsync (by jedbrown)

I've always liked the simplicity of git-fat [0]:

* Initial setup includes git filter rules so that "git add" automatically uses get-fat for matching files.

* It works by rsync'ing to/from the remote. The setup for this is in a single ".gitfat" file, separate from the filter rules.

* You do need to run "git fat push" and "git fat pull"; this can probably be automated with hooks.

So just offhand without even trying to think about the "right" way to do what you want, the committed ".gitfat" could be to a read-only remote, then you can swap it with your own un-committed file for a push that has an rsync-writeable remote.

Also, the whole thing is a single 628-line python file, so worst case it would be easy to tweak it to read something like ".gitfat-push" and not have to manually swap it.
