GIT checkout failed with lfs enabled

[vdg]

Hi,

since yesterday I am having a problem checking out branches in a repository where lfs support is enabled and in use. I tried a fresh clone as well and when checking out the requested branch GIT reports a "fatal: Out of memory, realloc failed":

This is the output from Sourcetree:

I assume it has something to do with a CAD file that cannot be downloaded due to a reason I do not see. The destination drive has >50GB available and the sfile is <2GB in size. 

Any help is very appreciated.

Hi, @vdg, thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community.

I saw that you created a ticket with our support related to the same question and they have already answered you and resolved the issue.

So in case someone else faces the same issue, I will share the steps we need to follow to fix this problem:

// Skip smudge - We'll download binary files later in a faster batch
git lfs install --skip-smudge

// Do git clone here
git clone ...

// Fetch all the binary files in the new clone
git lfs pull

// Reinstate smudge
git lfs install --force

Kind regards,
Caroline
