The guy at work who managed git before me, well didn't quite have the knowledge I do and was not using LFS. In one of the main repos a 200mb binary was pushed 80+ times. This is not the only file that this happened to. Even if you do a shallow clone, you still need to add the commit depth eventually. It's a nightmare.
