Enterprise Linux 9 and compatible OSes, experimental support for multiple
Remotes, and some command-line helpers for `git lfs push`.

Need to continue to vendor the dependencies can use the `make vendor` target.
In addition, we've also switched the documentation to AsciiDoc from.
Ronn-flavoured Markdown and included the FAQ in the repository. This means that
The manual pages now render properly in the GitHub web interface and it's also
Much easier to create additional formats, such as PDF, by leveraging the ability
of Asciidoctor to convert to DocBook.
It should also be noted that `git lfs migrate import --everything` now processes.
All refs that aren't special to Git instead of just branches and tags. This is
What it was documented to do, but didn't, so we've it.

3.0.025 Sep 2021 07:25
major bugfix:
(24 Sep 2021).
This release is a major new release and introduces several new features, such as.
a pure SSH-based protocol, packages for several new OS versions, support for
ARM64 Windows, Git-compatible pattern matching, and locking multiple files on
the command line, among other items.
When connecting over SSH, the first attempt will be made to use.
`git-lfs-transfer`, the pure SSH protocol, and if it fails, Git LFS will fall.
back to the hybrid protocol using `git-lfs-authenticate`. Note that no major
forges are known to support the pure SSH protocol at this time.
Because it is a major release, we've made some backwards-incompatible changes.
A (possibly incomplete) list of them is as follows:
NTLM support has been completely removed, since nobody volunteered to in it. Users are advised to use Kerberos or Basic authentication
instead.
When using an SSH URL (that is, the syntax starting with `ssh://`), the
leading slash is not stripped off when invoking `git-lfs-authenticate` or.
`git-lfs-transfer`. This is compatible with the behavior of Git when invoking
commands over SSH.
`git lfs fsck` now additionally checks that pointers are canonical and that
files that are supposed to be LFS files actually are. It also exits nonzero
if any problem is found.
Pattern matching should be stricter and should either match the behavior of.
`.gitattributes` or `.gitignore`, as appropriate. Deviations from Git's
behavior will henceforth be treated as and accordingly.
Git LFS will now write a Git LFS repository format version into the
repository. This is designed to allow future extension with incompatible
changes. Repositories without this version will be assumed to be version 0.
Note that this is different from, but modeled on, Git's repository format
version.
`git lfs lock` and `git lfs unlock` now handle multiple pathname arguments and
the JSON format has changed to handle multiple responses.
The Go package name now contains a version number. This should

Supports Kerberos as well, which is far more secure and may be a viable
Replacement in many situations.
