Git mirror of non-LFS repo to LFS-repo

I'm looking to set up a mirror of a non-LFS repo on GitHub that limits me to LFS for larger than 100 MB files. There is no alternative to using GitHub.

My approach:

git clone --bare <REPO>
git lfs migrate import --include="*.zip" --everything
git push <MIRROR> --set-upstream --all

The problem I see is that in case the original repository has new commit and the mirror has the rewritten LFS commit, how will an update take place? I tried various methods but nothing so far made too much sense to me.

Has anyone encountered this and how did you resolve this?

Why can you not use LFS for the original repo as well? – Mark Adelsberger Jun 07 '18 at 13:23
Because it's not owned by me. – Jan Jun 08 '18 at 09:07
Well, then I guess the person who does own it is going to have to make a choice, because there is no "this clone uses LFS but this one doesn't". – Mark Adelsberger Jun 08 '18 at 12:35
I have literally 0 influence over the other repository, hence my question. – Jan Jun 08 '18 at 13:00
