RESOLVED: Can't access repo because of LFS quota being exceeded

[gianlucatruda]

UPDATES:

You can tell git to ignore LFS trackers by setting an environment variable:

export GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1

If you can't access the video data you need (in sample_data/ or nemcova_data/), you can direct-download them as .zip files from:

• nemcova_data.zip
• sample_data.zip

Multiple people have reported the following message when they try clone or pull from the repo:

Error downloading object: nemcova_data/20200329165117/data_08b.mp4 (d06fd43): Smudge error: Error downloading nemcova_data/20200329165117/data_08b.mp4 (d06fd4359a4c2a755edad6b68b61baeea9f5b36e651d72d6e6f9510072e1f93e): batch response: This repository is over its data quota. Account responsible for LFS bandwidth should purchase more data packs to restore access.

The tier of Git Large File Storage (LFS) has reached either its data or bandwidth quota, meaning that the large video files we've stored there aren't accessible and this is blocking other git commands.

We are working on this issue (see also issue #2).

The best course of action if you encounter this problem when trying to pull/clone is to download the repo as a .zip file:

If you try to fork the repo and it's successful, please reply to this thread.

It seems that you can specify that git should ignore LFS files when cloning/pulling. See this thread.

If you set the environment variable to skip lfs smudging and then use git, it should work (as long as your git configuration isn't overriding it).

export GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1
git <command>

You can then go and download the data files stored in LFS from the URLs above.
