convert-to-git-lfs stopped working #371

Open isonil opened 4 years ago

isonil commented 4 years ago

I'm using this tutorial to rewrite git history to convert files of the specified format to use git LFS, but it looks like even the simplest case doesn't work: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/use-bfg-to-migrate-a-repo-to-git-lfs-834233484.html

--convert-to-git-lfs just doesn't update any commits. No matter which type of quotes I use (as suggested here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44550842/unable-to-convert-git-repo-to-use-large-file-support-lfs-via-the-bfg-tool )

How to repro: Create a new repo on bitbucket, commit and push 1 exe file Run git clone --mirror Install git lfs Run java -jar "/bfg-1.13.0.jar" --convert-to-git-lfs "*.{exe,dll}" --no-blob-protection reponame.git Observe the error: BFG aborting: No refs to update - no dirty commits found??

This is what I get:

Cleaning
--------

Found 8 commits
Cleaning commits:       100% (8/8)
Cleaning commits completed in 109 ms.

BFG aborting: No refs to update - no dirty commits found??

You are probably facing this issue #349

I'm also facing exactly the same issue. Is there a fix?

You can use git lfs migrate out of the box now: git lfs migrate import --include="*.extension" --everything

Thanks!
