Bitbucket and GIT LFS (Does BB automatically detects if a repo needs LFS)

[G_ W_]

Hello,

Could you please help me with the following questions regarding LFS support in Bitbucket :

• When migrating from a 3rd party GIT repository that contains large files (>=100MB), does  Bitbucket automatically flag the repository as needing LFS?
• If we push the repository to BB as is (LFS not enabled), will BB error out and refuse the push? 
• Is there a way to migrate a "regular" GIT repository to an LFS enabled repository without re-writing GIT history? (repo cloning speed is not a concern for us)

Best,

G.

Hi Nicolas, 

Thank you for your reply. Could I ask you a follow up question:

• If we buy the 100GB storage for $10/Month, can we use it for only LFS storage, or can it be used for storing additional "regular" GIT repositories?  

Thank you again!
