Feature Description

It would be nice if gitea had a way to quickly find out which files are stored on lfs. It's quite a small change but it could be very handy.

To implement this, we need to store the LFS object's tree path in database.

For a special object, we can read the pointer. But for a file list(some directories have thousands files), reading the pointer is low performance.

Well, if possible it would be nice, but it's not that big of a deal, just handy. You may close the issue if you think it's too complex and/or useless to spend time on.

No, I think this is useful. Let's keep it open until someone would like to implement it.
