WVS

On brand new Mac computer, LFS incorrectly configured

Repro:

  • Brand new Mac with nothing installed yet
  • Install WVS
  • Clone a multimedia project (i.e. something that has LFS files)
  • Observe that the LFS files have not been properly converted from pointers to binary data

Notes:

This happens because the user's .gitconfig file has not been properly configured to indicate that LFS files needs filter.

If other software is installed first (xcode, unity, etc) there is something that sets up that global configuration (since it is not application specific) and things work OK.

The WVS installation, or first use, on macOS should make sure to set that configuration.
