Description

Hi,

currently git is part of the images and a lot of people seem to use the images for ci/cd purposes and thus also git etc..

Now I found that in a lot of circumstances there were problems which ultimately boiled down to git-lfs not being available when people were using it.

Of course installing it in the ci/cd or or building an own image for those cases is possible too, however I would like to ask if it could be considered to install git-lfs per default in the image, as a service to all the people that use it (and often forget about it), I think it can prevent quite a few headaches in the feature...

Research direction

Start by locating the Dockerfile definitions and image variants in the docker-library/python repository, then check how Git is currently installed and how image changes are validated. Determine which images should include git-lfs and verify the affected builds; done means the selected images provide git-lfs without breaking existing variants.
