Using Eclipse with egit. Recently added LFS. Any push to remote gives an error.
As a simple test case: I cloned a remote repository, then, without changing any files, pushed to a new branch on remote, and got this:
Can't connect to any URI... (Rejected by "pre-push" hook.
open d:\dev\workspace\src\com\freightos\TestExcel.xlsx:
The system cannot find the file specified.
Note that:
In the command line, pushing works
egit is invoking LFS. I know this because LFS pulled some large files, but also because uninstalling LFS produces a different error message.
The mentioned large file is indeed not present in this branch. It did exist in other branches, which were not involved in the above git workflow.
After running git lfs fetch --all, the problem is resolved. It fetches the old files not in the present branch.
$ git lfs fetch --all
