I've been kind of wondering if they would eventually be migrated too. I only 
update my local libs occasionally, so it has a tenancy to fail if doing a large 
update spanning many revisions. Plus the benefit of not having to use two 
different tools.

Now with Git LFS being more widespread, it should mitigate the issue with all 
the large binary libraries.
