VERSION: vcstool 0.3.0
PRECONDITION: git-lfs is not installed
Using vcstool to import a .repos file with https://github.com/pdm-project/pdm.git fails in a weird way (if git-lfs is not installed). This repository requires git-lfs (which not installed initially).
vcs import fails in a weird way that does not hint (at least for me), what the root cause of this problem is.
After I understood what the problem was, I installed git-lfs and everything was fine.
DESIRED CHANGE:
Better description/diagnostics what goes wrong if vcs import is used in this case.
HOW TO REPEAT:
$ vcs import --input=.repos
