LFS support?

[cosmotek]

Just curious... does this project offer any sort of support for Git LFS?

[xinnjie]

Git LFS source code utilizes Go modules in its build system, and therefore this project contains a go.mod file with a defined Go module path. However, we do not maintain a stable Go language API or ABI, as Git LFS is intended to be used solely as a compiled binary utility. Please do not import the git-lfs module into other Go code and do not rely on it as a source code dependency.

from https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs#limitations
Git lfs support is apart from git.

@xinnjie it seem go-git could not clone lfs file. I tried but failed.
btw, my environment already install git lfs and could clone successfully with git clone command

seems that unless git lfs changes their mind about extending support to others git lfs support is not possible. Really sucks as I need it for my use case
