I don't think I ran into any issues when I did that, but it's been several  
years now.  If these aren't files that you change often, I wouldn't worry  
about it because they are already in your history.  So removing and  
readding won't change that.

If you're super worried and don't mind hash changes, you can probably run  
it through the convert extension to change the existing files into  
largefiles.  But if you can tolerate hash changes and want to convert, I'd  
recommend converting to lfs instead.  There are way fewer pain points with  
that extension.
