Running transaction Preparing : Installing : git-lfs-2.4.0-1.fc28.x86_64 Running scriptlet: git-lfs-2.4.0-1.fc28.x86_64 Error: Failed to call git rev-parse --git-dir --show-toplevel: "fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git\n" Git LFS initialized. Verifying : git-lfs-2.4.0-1.fc28.x86_64 Installed: git-lfs.x86_64 2.4.0-1.fc28 is one supposed to be *in* a git repository when installing, because i was in fact at the top level of my linux kernel source repo, so i'm unclear on what that "Error" is trying to tell me. am i just being clueless? is this something that i should submit as a fedora packaging issue? rday
