Would it be possible to remove lxd.tar.xz
from this repo?
It is pretty easy to do with something like https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/,
the only problem is that you need to rewrite history.
But I would argue it's worth it, since this should never been part of the repo
and will speed up every clone in the future which is created from this repo.
git clone --mirror git@github.com:lxc/pylxd.git
java -jar ~/Downloads/bfg-1.14.0.jar --strip-blobs-bigger-than 50M pylxd.git

Rewriting git history isn't really something we'd consider at this point. A possible workaround is to do a shallow clone:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/canonical/pylxd.git
