Introduction

This repository test LFS on SmartGit.

The repository enable LFS support for *.obj files defined in .gitattributes:

*.obj filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs -text

Next, there are 2 commits:

• obj files #1

• obj files #2

that stores the 2 versions of obj files.

Test Environment

• Windows 10 and above

• SmartGit

• Make sure log.workingTreeState=True in SmartGit’s Low-level Properties. This property is True by default. -

Steps to replay SmartGit

1. Clone this repository from SmartGit.

2. Make sure SmartGit is open in either mode:app-name:

   • Show Working Tree Windows

   • Show Log Windows + log.workingTreeState=True

3. In the Git working tree, check out commit obj files #2

4. Next, check out commit obj files #1, and monitor Windows Task Manager for process git-lfs.exe process. SmartGit will keep launch git-lfs.exe clean for each obj file.

If Working Tree Windows isn’t enable or log.workingTreeState=False, the git-lfs.exe clean process will not launch. But once Working Tree Windows is opened for the Git repository, the git-lfs.exe clean will trigger again.

Try check out obj files #1 or obj files #2 few times, the git-lfs.exe clean shall trigger too.

A repository that stores a number of LFS object will cause the SmartGit to freeze when git-lfs.exe clean happen.
