And if you try to run git gc and/or git repack.
For me, it's only 90MB

I agree that we shouldn't update lisaac.c too frequently.
Especially, don't commit it with other files, it makes diff files
unreadable.

But we still need to update it sometimes, we can't really escape it.

The best solution would be I think to remove lisaac.c from the
repository, or not to have it in the history, just the latest release.
But I have no idea how to do that.
