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.

  • Try adding 2 slashes: `file:////SERVERNAME/path/repo`. See these answers: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59153626/152016 (for local cloning) and https://stackoverflow.com/a/2520121/152016 (for LAN cloning) – Niloct Jan 23 '21 at 16:43
