Say there is a repo, A, which uses git LFS. And you have a clone of that, repo B. Can you create another clone, repo C, from repo B or do you have to go directly to repo A?
I ask because the network configuration makes it difficult to go directly from C to A, plus there is some stuff in B that I want that should not really be pushed to A.
When I tried, it looked like it cloned the repo okay but failed during the checkout with this error:
Error downloading object: <filepath> (<sha>): Smudge error: Error downloading <filepath> (<fullsha>): EOF
When I tried specifying the remote path as //SERVERNAME/path/repo
instead of file://SERVERNAME/path/repo
, it failed around the same point in the checkout with an "unknown protocol" error.
Note that none of the repos are on servers, but instead are on local or network drives.
