Except it is. Just cause github does pull requests differently doesn't mean you can't do pull requests in pure git. Remember, git came before github.

That's exactly my point. Using a "request-pull" instead of a "pull-request" will probably mean you can do this git-lfs thing with it. My understanding was that it was not working with "forked" repositories, which you need to have to make a "pull request". To make a "request pull" (or to just send a patch file), you don't need to "fork". ;)
