Anything new or special in jj that allows me to work with large binary files simply? To me, this is still unsolved in terms of providing an elegant solution (e.g. things like Git Large File Storage (Git LFS) are awkward).

I've heard that jj has support for non-git backends? Can anyone comment on how difficult it would be to add support for another backend, any docs or examples?

I have a project[0] that does the large file thing well, but is missing most of the version control porcelain. I've been looking for the path of least resistance to integrate it into something with a larger user base.

Not yet. It's desired to do something better here, but there's no active development that I'm aware of right now.

(LFS support is in progress though)
