Hmm, this is quite bizzare.  It looks like running `git lfs ls-files --all`
causes the repo to be lfs enabled and adds the following to the
.git/config file:

[lfs]
        repositoryformatversion = 0

That's surprising and a bit annoying.

I also see those files listed and they don't exist in the current
checkout.

Digging further the following commit introduced lfs files:

This commit removed them, but they are still in history so anything that
checks that the full history is intact is now broken:
