Everyone has a version of this story. Mine: I git add -A'd in a hurry, a
stray build artifact came along for the ride, and a few commits later the repo
had a 200 MB binary baked into its history. Cloning got slow for the whole team.
Fixing it meant git filter-repo, a force-push, and a Slack message that began
with "sorry, everyone needs to re-clone."
