v2.6.0

This release adds better support for redirecting network calls from a Git LFS
API server to one that requires a different authentication mode, builds Git LFS
on Go 1.11, and numerous other bug fixes and modifications.

  supported Git LFS commands

  section

• @skashyap7 for adding the 'git lfs track -n'
