Some large files in github are used git-lfs and will the fetch download those files with the real content instead of the pointer file?

I'm not sure! We haven't tried it with Git LFS. My guess is that, as fetch calls git clone, it'll probably "just work," but if you have a chance to try it, let us know!

I had a try and it does not work. The file downloaded is the pointer file like

version https://git-lfs.github.com/spec/v1
oid sha256:**
size 278593866

The git-lfs will need another authentication according to the API.
