Project export missing Git LFS tracked objects
The project export/import feature is used by customers to move projects from one instance of GitLab to another. It is problematic if these Git LFS objects are not included in the export.
Unfortunately Git LFS objects are not included in git archive or git bundle commands.
Proposal
- Hard: try to contribute solution upstream to Git
- Easier: roll our own format that sits beside the
project.bundleand is unpacked by GitLab application
