Hi, we are using JGIT 5.10.0.202012080955-r in an Android App (API Level 29).
So far everything is working fine, but we have trouble to setup LFS.
Trying to register and setup the BuiltinLFS hooks like this:
private void cloneRepo() throws IOException, InvalidRemoteException, TransportException, GitAPIException, InterruptedException, URISyntaxException {
        BuiltinLFS.register();
        FileRepositoryBuilder builder = new FileRepositoryBuilder();
        Repository repository = builder.setWorkTree(m_gitDir).setup().build();
        Git git = new Git(repository);
        CloneCommand clone = git.cloneRepository();
        clone.setBare(false);
        clone.setCloneAllBranches(true);
        clone.setDirectory(m_gitDir).setURI(m_url);
        clone.setCredentialsProvider(m_user);
        clone.setProgressMonitor(m_progressMonitor);
        clone.call();
        InstallBuiltinLfsCommand installLfs = (InstallBuiltinLfsCommand) BuiltinLFS.getInstance().getInstallCommand();
        installLfs.setRepository(repository);
        installLfs.call();
        pullRepo();
    }

    private void pullRepo() throws IOException, InvalidRemoteException, TransportException, GitAPIException, URISyntaxException {
        Git git = Git.open(m_gitDir);
        Repository repo = git.getRepository();
        RemoteSetUrlCommand setUrl = git.remoteSetUrl();
        setUrl.setRemoteName("origin");
        setUrl.setRemoteUri(new URIish(m_url));
        setUrl.call();

        git
                .pull()
                .setCredentialsProvider(m_user)
                .setRemote("origin")
                .setRemoteBranchName("master")
                .setProgressMonitor(m_progressMonitor)
                .call();
    }

The repo is set up for LFS according the gitlab guide and it is hosted on gitlab.
However, running cloneRepo() above just checks out using the normal git process. The large files in the repo are not downloaded, no error thrown. Checking out the large files from desktop using the normal git command is working fine.
We also tried to call
InstallBuiltinLfsCommand
without
setRepository
but this fails, as
SystemReader.getInstance().getUserConfig();
in org.eclipse.jgit.lfs/src/org/eclipse/jgit/lfs/InstallBuiltinLfsCommand.java returns null.
Any help appreciated how to setup LFS for JGIT. Is there some equivalent API functions to the normal
git lfs fetch
?

kind regards
Martin


PS: Sorry, unable to correctly link the gitlab guide and InstallBuiltinLfsCommand.java as users without one post are unable to include links.
