I think it’s generally agreed upon that large files that change often do not belong while small files that never change are fine. But there’s still a lot of middle ground where the answer is not so clear to me.

So what’s your stance on this? Where do you draw the line?

    The main downside is Git downloads all history by default, and so any large files will bloat the download for people cloning your repo forever. It isn’t about binary vs text. It’s just the size that matters.
