I despise LFS.

I’m sure that if you know how to use it... maybe... you can figure it out.

That said; here’s my battle story:

Estimate the time it’ll take to move all our repositories from a to b they said.

Us: with all branches?

Them: just main and develop.

Us: you just clone and push to the new origin, it’s not zero but it’s trivial.

Weeks later...

Yeah. LFS is now banned.

LFS is not a distributed version control system; once you use it, a clone is no longer “as good” as the original, because it refers to a LFS server that is independent of your clone.

...also, actually cloning all the LFS content from git lab is both slow and occasionally broken in a way that requires you to restart the clone.
