Does GitLab support large files via git-annex or otherwise?

git, git-annex, gitlab, large-files, version-control

Solution

As of February 18 2015 git-annex is supported on GitLab 7.8 Enterprise Edition

Problem

I run a GitLab instance and would like to allow my users to upload files of almost any size. It is well-known that git still has problems with large files. I am aware of approaches to circumvent this issue by storing the files somewhere else and versioning just the metadata, e.g. git-annex, git-media and git-fat. Are any of these integrated into GitLab, or would it be easy to do so?
