Description

When creating a README.md file and tracking it with Git LFS, it will be displayed in the wrong way. When individually clicking the README.md and downloading it (View raw), the right content gets downloaded.

Hmm... I can't believe that anyone would place their markdown readme file in LFS - however, I suppose for completeness sake I can adjust this.

Should we be allowing other formats like readme pdf etc?

I tracked my README.md with Git LFS by accident (by tracking all files with Git LFS), but if you include Base64 images in the README.md, there is a good reason to track the README.md with Git LFS.

Should we be allowing other formats like readme pdf etc?

Not as part of this issue, but generally why not?

It would simplify the code somewhat, we just make the readme section call the view file section with the appropriate information and set the template similarly
