Move Git LFS tracked files under regular Git

I have just recently run into this problem where assets were accidentally added to git-lfs on one branch that shouldn’t have been. My solution was:

git lfs untrack '<file-type>'
git rm --cached '<file-type>'
git add '<file-type>'
git commit -m "restore '<file-type>' to git from lfs"

The result is a rewrite of the git-lfs oid sha256 pointers with the standard file contents.
