Works for me: no additional infrastructure to set up and maintain.

Apparently not with the img plugin.

Cool.
So, problem solved apparently. Yay!
Do we need to enforce this server-side, to forbid pushing large files,
possibly with a per-file-extension limit?
I definitely trust that mistakes will be rare, but one can *not* undo
such mistakes, as far as the `.git' directory size is concerned, which
is what I'm interested in right now... and I'd like to avoid having to
rewrite the Git history again in a few years, sort of. OTOH, I can
definitely do more interesting things than setting up Git hooks :)
