Description
Commands.Stage & repo.Commit does not preserve LFS files at all, even if LFS is enabled.
Also if you try to read from git history using API like:
Blob blob = repo0.Lookup<Blob>(change.Oid);
using (Stream stream = blob.GetContentStream());
...
Instead of file - you will read pointer file instead -

text file.
Would be nice if LFS would be supported in libgit2sharp library.

Research direction
Start with the named Commands.Stage, repo.Commit, repo.Lookup, and Blob.GetContentStream APIs. Determine how LFS-enabled repositories should behave for staging, committing, and history reads; completion requires support for both workflows, with tests covering each case.
