Hi, To give some context on the objects in question..
There are 14 files in Brooklyn's history larger than 1Mb. Four of these are larger than 20Mb. The largest is 57Mb(!). These files make for a significant penalty when cloning the repository. Of the fourteen large files, five were present in the Brooklyn repo when the project joined the incubator (1 May 2015). All of them were deleted before its first incubator release (0.7.0-M2 (incubating)) on 23 December 2014. The files are also not to be found in Brooklyn's last pre-ASF release (they are all either examples or in a 'sandbox' module). The other nine files were all deleted before Brooklyn even had its first public GA release (0.4.0) on January 16 2013. The worst offending file is part of this group.
