My repo uses git lfs. For a fresh clone, I ran:
git lfs install git clone https://example.com/repo.git The clone gets to the point where it starts downloading lfs files, gets to some file and then fails. The file at which it fails is different each time I attempt to clone. Very occasionally it succeeds.
Here is the output:
Cloning into 'repo'... remote: Counting objects: 35699, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (17678/17678), done. remote: Total 35699 (delta 15603), reused 35553 (delta 15545) Receiving objects: 100% (35699/35699), 231.45 MiB | 11.12 MiB/s, done.

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status' and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD' The lfs logs say:

Any idea what could be causing this failure to download the lfs files?
