Deny Binary Files

The deny-binary script rejects commit that add binary files that should have been tracked as Git LFS object instead. We also provide some tests, which can be run using Docker Compose inside our Gitea container image. It has been installed as a pre-receive hook in the following repositories:

blender/blender
blender/blender-assets
blender/blender-benchmarks
blender/blender-developer-docs
blender/blender-manual
blender/blender-test-data
blender/lib-linux_x64
blender/lib-macos_arm64
blender/lib-macos_x64
blender/lib-source
blender/lib-windows_arm64
blender/lib-windows_x64
studio/dogwalk

To circumvent the rejection you can add override restrictions anywhere in the commit message.
