The workaround is to put all large files for example in 'media/' folder,
and make this folder be submodule. Each clone of repository can have
this 'media' submodule either present (both in object database, although
usually separate from main project object database), or not present
(not cloned and not checked out).

Tim was talking about that media/ folder and managing that in git. If you want 
to work on the media, you might end up getting hundreds of gigabytes of data 
to get that folder, even if you only need to change one single file.

That's the issue we're running into, and I don't thing submodules solve this 
at all.
