title: Django media files under GIT
body: <p>we have just started using a git account of our Django website project so that the team can collaborate on the source code. </p>
  
  <p>I have heard different things concerning what should be done with the <code>/media</code> directory. We currently keep the <code>/static</code> directory under version control so that the whole project can be cloned and recreated. However, the website also contains a large amount (>400mb) of uploaded images for galleries which will likely grow over time. </p>
  
  <p>Should this be under git also? Is there a reasonable size limit to be aware of when using GIT? And is there some other method for dealing with the <code>/media</code> folder which is used by the Django community?</p>
  
  <p>Any guidance would be much appreciated.</p>
