Hi Lars,

[...] the current Git Travis CI OSX build always installs the latest

You could argue that this is bad CI practice because CI results should
be reproducible.  However, it has value to test the latest versions to
detect integration errors as the one with Git LFS 1.2. We could add
additional build jobs to test fixed versions and latest versions but
this would just burn a lot of CPU cycles... that was the reason why I
chose the way it is implemented right now. I will add a comment to the
OSX build to make the current strategy more clear (Linux fixed versions,
OS X latest versions).

What do you think about that? Do you agree/disagree? Do you see a better
way?

I agree with your reasoning.

Ciao,
