Is this just for media storage, or do you want to have the media under source control because it changes?

@Narthring Thanks - It looks similar to the solution I mentioned in my question, but I will check it out further.

I checked again and yeah, you're right.  I had thought that your original link was Git support for large media files, but I think I was confused on something else I was looking at.  I'm surprised at the low response too.  I'd expect this is a common problem.
