Description Anuj Mittal 2019-02-23 07:49:27 UTC 
If git-lfs is installed on the build machine and the repository specified in SRC_URI has files stored using LFS, unpack fails with error like:

git-lfs smudge -- 'doc/MFE-Overview.pdf': 1: git-lfs smudge -- 'doc/MFE-Overview.pdf': git-lfs: not found
error: external filter git-lfs smudge -- %f failed -1
error: external filter git-lfs smudge -- %f failed
fatal: doc/MFE-Overview.pdf: smudge filter lfs failed
