Dear Maintainer,

Based on the discussion we’re having right now, to enable to use dgit
push with a repo where git-lfs has previously been used, the following
steps are needed:

 * file a bug against git-lfs package
   * communications *probably* need to be reviewed by someone else
 * have a list of exact hook scripts we want to disable
 * pass --no-verify when there’s a hook *precisely* matching one of those
 * have a test case in dgit to check it works with the current version of git-lfs in Debian
 * when all of the above is done, tell git-lfs Debian maintainers

For your record, here’s a list of related upstream bugs:

 * https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/3721
 * https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/3695
 * https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/3706

Hi,

This issue has just been addressed with my pull request adding an
environment variable GIT_LFS_SKIP_PUSH to disable LFS functionality.
Just setting it unconditionally to "true" will automagically fix the
issue for git-lfs strictly newer than 2.12.0, not improving it but not
making it worse for any previous versions. The fix is directly in the
git-lfs binary, with no change to the hook scripts; however,
pristine-lfs, which uses git-lfs, already installs a hook adding support
for this variable even if git-lfs doesn’t support it.

I don’t think fixing the bug for older git-lfs versions is worth extra
hacky code.

git-lfs 2.13.1 (which includes the fix) is now in unstable and I hope
autopkgtests will get fixed soon for it to migrate to testing in time.

Could you please have a look at this again? It would be great to have
this in bullseye.

Thanks!
