In the Tutorial there are still several references to BFG, but the actual migration instruction have been stroked out and replaced by a link to git-lfs-migrate by @andyneff . I believe this is confusing. What makes git-lfs-migrate preferable over BFG? If there is some valid reason to only use git-lfs-migrate all references to BFG should go completely (and not just be stroked out). If both do the job equally well, both should be mentioned equally.

BFG writes gitattributes files incorrectly if you're updating multiple file types: rtyley/bfg-repo-cleaner#116

I've edited the wiki to make this more clear.
