fix(server): cloning a Git LFS repo no longer looks stalled while it downloads#27606

Problem

Cloning a repo that uses Git LFS shows Checking out files · 100% · Stalled while the large files are downloading normally. Git's LFS filter prints nothing until a whole file lands, and the clone tracker treats 20 seconds of silence as a stall. GIT_LFS_FORCE_PROGRESS doesn't help, because the filter has no byte-level progress to force.

Change

When the LFS filter is the stock one from git lfs install, the clone now skips smudging and then runs git lfs pull with forced progress. The pull reports bytes as they arrive, so the banner shows the transfer and the existing stall detection still catches transfers that really stop.

The pull only runs when the checkout has filter=lfs files, so repos without LFS and empty repos never invoke git-lfs.
The pull also stops when the new checkout has no LFS process filter or a --skip one. Config read before the clone can come from a repo around the destination or miss an includeIf "gitdir:..." override, and those clones keep pointer files and download nothing, as on main.
Other setups (--skip filters, lfs.skipdownloaderrors, GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE, GIT_LFS_SKIP_DOWNLOAD_ERRORS, git-lfs not installed) keep today's plain clone, because git lfs pull wouldn't honor those options. On that path, Filtering content lines now count as progress.
The transfer text travels in detail under the existing checkout stage. A new stage literal would fail schema decoding on older clients, so this needs no contract or client change and reaches every client through a server update.
git-lfs redraws about five times a second, so reports are limited to one per second to keep websocket traffic at git's usual pace.

Scope and approval

Related bug report: #33215; awaiting maintainer triage. It is reported but not yet triaged. Before filing it I searched issues and PRs for LFS and stalled clones and found none. This is one underlying problem in the server clone path: a healthy LFS download reported as stalled. It does change how LFS clones run, so it may need a triaged issue rather than the small-fix exception, and no maintainer has approved it yet.

Verification

I ran the real ProjectCloneTracker, SourceControlRepositoryService and GitVcsDriver with git 2.56 and git-lfs 3.8.1 against a local LFS server throttled to 2 MB/s per connection (repo with two 60 MB files and one 4 MB file). The text lines below are projectCloneProgressSummary, the string web and mobile render. The screenshots are the real web client on a dev server with a scratch database, cloning a similar repo (two 90 MB files and one 4 MB file at 1.5 MB/s per connection).

Before: the download is healthy, but the banner says it stalled.

Clone banner on main reading "Checking out files, 100%, Stalled" during a healthy LFS download

1	0.0s Checking out files · 33%
2	20.0s Checking out files · 100% · Stalled
3	30.3s [done]

After: past the same 20 second mark, the banner shows the transfer.

Clone banner with this fix reading "Checking out files, Downloading LFS objects: 33% (1/3), 87 MB, 3.0 MB/s"

1	4.3s Checking out files · Downloading LFS objects: 33% (1/3), 21 MB \| 4.0 MB/s
2	17.0s Checking out files · Downloading LFS objects: 33% (1/3), 71 MB \| 4.0 MB/s
3	29.7s Checking out files · Downloading LFS objects: 33% (1/3), 122 MB \| 4.0 MB/s
4	30.3s [done]

Scenario	Result
Server stops sending mid-transfer	`Checking out files · Stalled` about 19s later, clears on resume, clone completes
Cancel during the download	Phase `cancelled`, destination emptied, no git-lfs process left
Repo without LFS, and empty repo	No pull, no `.git/lfs` directory
LFS enabled only in a repo around the destination	Pointer files, no objects downloaded, `git status` clean
That repo's stock filter over a global `--skip-smudge`, or `includeIf "gitdir:..."` setting a `--skip` filter	Pointer files, no objects downloaded, `git status` clean
`includeIf "gitdir:..."` setting a differently spelled filter, such as `git lfs filter-process` or an absolute path	Full-size files, `git status` clean
LFS server unreachable	Phase `failed` with `connection refused` in the error text
Public LFS repo on Hugging Face over HTTPS	Full-size files, `git status` clean
Update rate during download	30 snapshots over 30s

The three config rows ran through the real SourceControlRepositoryService with a file:// remote and a 2 MB object.

Tests: 8 new cases failed before their fix and pass now (vp test run src/sourceControl/SourceControlRepositoryService.test.ts src/project/ProjectCloneTracker.test.ts). vp run check:changed passes.

Not checked: LFS over SSH, macOS and Windows, and git-lfs versions without GIT_LFS_FORCE_PROGRESS, which I expect to stay silent and show Stalled as they do today. Mobile renders the same summary string, but I only ran the web client.

Known gaps, both needing unusual config:

lfs.skipdownloaderrors set only through includeIf "gitdir:..." isn't visible before the clone. If an object is missing on the server, git lfs pull then fails the clone, where a plain clone exits 0 and leaves the pointer file.
A global config with a smudge filter but no process filter, plus a repo around the destination with its own stock filter, leaves pointer files where a plain clone downloads the content.

Walkthrough

Clone progress parsing now recognizes Git filtering and LFS output. For eligible configurations, the service defers LFS smudge downloads, then runs git lfs pull when the cloned repository contains LFS-tracked files. Clone command output supplies progress and credential-redacted diagnostics.

Changes: Clone progress and LFS downloads

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Recognize checkout progress `apps/server/src/project/gitCloneProgress.ts`, `apps/server/src/project/ProjectCloneTracker.test.ts`	The parser classifies “Filtering content” and “Downloading LFS objects” lines as checkout progress. Tests cover percentage parsing and normalized LFS progress details.
Run clone commands and collect diagnostics `apps/server/src/sourceControl/SourceControlRepositoryService.ts`	The shared command runner processes progress from stdout and stderr. It retains up to four non-progress diagnostic lines after credential redaction and uses them in clone failure details.
Defer and pull LFS files `apps/server/src/sourceControl/SourceControlRepositoryService.ts`, `apps/server/src/sourceControl/SourceControlRepositoryService.test.ts`	Eligible clones set `GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE` and pull LFS files when the checkout contains LFS-tracked files. The pull reports throttled progress. Tests cover configuration, environment, progress, and failure details.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: External image Low · previous review 5d8d5

Cloning a Git LFS repo now defers smudging and pulls LFS objects with progress. In a narrow configuration, where the destination's filter differs from the one read before cloning, the pull can download objects or fail where a plain clone would leave pointer files. This is a bounded edge case that is safe to merge with owner awareness.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "fix(server): cloning a Git LFS repo no longer looks stalled while it downloads" names the main change. The changeset makes LFS clones skip smudging and run git lfs pull with forced progress, so transfer progress is reported and the clone no longer shows as stalled. The title is a conventional commit, is one sentence, and does not use vague terms. It is 78 characters, which is slightly long but acceptable.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's core structure: Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification. The problem and fix are clearly explained, and the verification section is detailed, listing tests run, before/after results, a scenario table, and untested areas. However, the Scope and approval section does not meet the template's requirements. The linked bug report #33215 is explicitly not yet triaged, and no maintainer approval comment is linked. The author states the change may need a triaged issue rather than the small-fix exception, and no maintainer has approved it yet. The template says broader workflow or behavior changes still need approval, and this change alters how LFS clones run. The template also requires a conventional commit title, which cannot be confirmed because the title is outside this description text. The description ends with 'Created with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code', which satisfies the model and harness item. The verification section reports 8 new test cases, while the PR objectives say seven; this discrepancy does not change the verdict.

Resolution

Provide the required approval for the scope. Either link triaged bug issue #33215 after maintainers triage it, or link a discussion with explicit maintainer approval of direction and scope, including the approval comment. Alternatively, explain why the change qualifies as a very small, focused fix of an obvious bug without prior issue approval. Explain why the LFS clone behavior change is in scope. Confirm the test count (the description says 8 new cases; the PR objectives say seven). Confirm that the PR title follows the conventional commit format described in the template.

Stub GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE in every table row, not only when a row sets it.

canDeferLfs returns false when process.env.GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE or process.env.GIT_LFS_SKIP_DOWNLOAD_ERRORS is truthy. Line 340 stubs the variable only when skipSmudge !== undefined. If the test runner inherits one of these variables, for example from a CI image or a developer shell, the rows that expect deferral will fail. The "tracks LFS files" row expects GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 on the clone and a git lfs pull. Both assertions fail in that environment.

Always stub both variables. An empty string is falsy, so it disables the guard without depending on undefined support in vi.stubEnv.

454-487: External image Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Use a global/system-scoped lookup for LFS deferral.
canDeferLfs(path.dirname(prepared.destinationPath)) uses git.readConfigValue, whose git config --get call performs normal repository discovery. A local filter.lfs.process in an enclosing repository can therefore enable GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE for an unrelated clone. The new repository may then lack the filter, while git lfs pull exits successfully and leaves LFS pointer files in the working tree.
Add a dedicated global/system-scoped lookup for these two LFS keys. Do not change the shared readConfigValue behavior, because other repository operations rely on local configuration lookup.

🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 responding on behalf of GuardedAirplane

Updated: I first declined this finding about a global/system-scoped LFS lookup. It's now addressed in 59aa88c.

My earlier claim that the clone always ended up the same as main was wrong. An enclosing repo's stock filter could override a global --skip-smudge, so the clone downloaded and checked out a file that config said to skip.

pullLfsObjects now re-reads filter.lfs.process in the new checkout and stops if it's unset or uses --skip (narrowed in 5d8d51d). No scoped lookup is needed. This read shows what the checkout actually uses, and it also covers includeIf "gitdir:..." overrides that aren't visible before the clone.

Real clones through SourceControlRepositoryService with git-lfs 3.8.1, a file:// remote and a 2 MB object:

Config	Before this commit	After this commit
LFS enabled only in a repo around the destination	Pointer file, 1 object downloaded	Pointer file, 0 objects
That repo's stock filter over a global `--skip-smudge`	Full-size file, 1 object downloaded	Pointer file, 0 objects
`includeIf "gitdir:..."` sets a `--skip` filter for the destination	Not run	Pointer file, 0 objects
Global stock filter, in a plain directory or inside a repo	Not run	Full-size file, 1 object

A plain git clone with the second row's config leaves a pointer file and 0 objects, so the new result matches main there.

Handle equivalent stock LFS filter commands.

STOCK_LFS_FILTER only matches git-lfs filter-process. A destination-specific includeIf "gitdir:..." can make the checkout use git lfs filter-process even though the pre-clone read sees the stock value. The clone then sets GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1, but pullLfsObjects returns on the string mismatch, leaving LFS pointer files.

Recognize the no-skip git lfs filter-process form as equivalent to the stock filter, while keeping --skip and other custom filters on the non-deferred path. Alternatively, determine the destination’s effective filter before enabling deferral.

🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 responding on behalf of GuardedAirplane

Fixed in 5d8d51d, more broadly than suggested. With real git-lfs 3.8.1, both git lfs filter-process and /usr/bin/git-lfs filter-process left a pointer file where a plain clone gets the full file, so accepting one more spelling would still miss the second.

pullLfsObjects now stops only when the checkout has no process filter or a --skip one, and any other filter gets the pull. Both spellings now produce the full-size file. A --skip filter from includeIf still ends with a pointer file and 0 objects, matching a plain clone, and a new table row covers the spelling case.

@GuardedAirplane The supplied code confirms that pullLfsObjects no longer requires an exact stock-filter match. Both command spellings now pass the filter check, while absent filters and filters containing --skip still stop the pull.

This addresses the finding more fully than my suggested spelling check. Thanks for the real git-lfs verification.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head 5d8d51de46465bf784904003a334da12713bf9a1 on this linux vm, using repo Playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome. installed dependencies with vp i, ran main and the pr in separate isolated state, and stopped main before starting the pr.

reproduced on github/main (5fe18d79ac): add project → git url → https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-tiny. with stock git-lfs 3.4.1 and a real HTTPS forwarding proxy limited to about 1 mb/s, the app showed Checking out files · 100% · Stalled while the downloaded object grew from 13 mb to 20 mb.
the same repository and destination on the pr showed advancing lfs byte counts beyond the stall threshold: 18 mb at 21 seconds, 27 mb at 30 seconds, and 49 mb at 50 seconds, with no false stall. the clip records this progress at about one frame per second.
pausing the forwarding process produced a real Checking out files · Stalled state. resuming it allowed the clone to complete and the banner to disappear.
the completed 151,061,672-byte model matches the committed lfs pointer. a real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turn, submitted through the web composer and local proxy, independently ran the checks and rendered the matching result in the client.
cancellation during a second lfs download emptied the destination and left no git-lfs download process. retry restarted the download; cancelling again cleaned it up.
a neighboring plain clone, https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World.git, completed through the same ui with a clean checkout, the real README, and no .git/lfs directory.
blacksmith ran the existing focused suites: vp test run apps/server/src/sourceControl/SourceControlRepositoryService.test.ts apps/server/src/project/ProjectCloneTracker.test.ts: 2 files, 45 tests passed. the pr's 29 reported ci checks are successful. no source changes or pushes were needed.

main: a healthy lfs download falsely shows stalled

pr: the same lfs clone reports downloaded bytes

pr: lfs byte counts advance beyond the stall threshold

real codex turn confirms the downloaded file matches its lfs pointer

Not verified

native ios/android, the electron shell, macos/windows, lfs over ssh, other git-lfs versions, and the custom skip/error-tolerance/includeIf configurations described in the pr. the live lfs exercise used HTTPS and lfs.fetchinclude=model.safetensors; it does not prove every lfs object in the repository downloads. no mocks, seeded fixtures, or replay provider were used.
