It would be nice to include large files in a role/files directory and track them with git lfs. In git-lfs, these are text reference pointers to the file that can be fetched from the git server. \r\n\r\nThe feature request: File modules such as 'copy' and 'unarchive' should check for the text reference pointer and if found, automatically transfer the file from the git server (git lfs) directly to the destination hosts.\r\n\r\nWhile I could clone the full git repo and fetch all the files, this would cause two full transfers of potentially GB's of data, vs just one as described above. \r\n\r\nPerhaps another feature request should be add git-lfs support to the 'git' module as well?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ansible/ansible/issues/comments/255831554","html_url":"https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/13742#issuecomment-255831554","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/ansible/ansible/issues/13742","id":255831554,"user":{"login":"sjentzsch","id":7251431,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7251431?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sjentzsch","html_url":"https://github.com/sjentzsch","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sjentzsch/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sjentzsch/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sjentzsch/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sjentzsch/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sjentzsch/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sjentzsch/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sjentzsch/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sjentzsch/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sjentzsch/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-10-24T18:53:38Z","updated_at":"2016-10-24T18:53:38Z","body":"Awesome, +1 from my side, our company also uses Ansible and git-lfs, would be very nice to have module support on this!"}}
