Description

I am trying to upload a 700MB file with <1.0MB/s upload speed to git-lfs. I know this is not optimal, but not everyone has a good internet connection in all places they occasionally need to do some work.

This proves to be nigh impossible. After 1-2 hours you are bound to run into some sort of minor hiccup, which will immediately cause the git-lfs client to start over from the beginning, which means there is a very tiny chance I can ever finish the upload successfully.

The git-lfs developers say they added Tus.io protocol support for this use case. (info from this ticket: https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/2026 ) Since without upload resumption git-lfs is completely unusable in this setting with a shaky connection, please implement this protocol server-side.
