The new way of adding images results in all versions of images being saved by git. As time goes, the repo will get larger and larger (since the old images are still there.)

After thinking a bit more, I now remember why I created the assets repo: "assets" should contain all the binary data which might make a repo bigger and bigger.

I‘d suggest moving the pictures over to the assets repo.

Once in my past with another git repo this issue resulted in gigabytes needed to be cloned.
