That is so wrong. Randomly adding RPM repositories is the quickest way

A little more digging reveals that git-lfs is the part of the official
EPEL repository. I have installed git-lfs on all our computing nodes. It
seems to be working well with git 2.9 

predrag at lake$ more .kshrc|grep git
alias git='/opt/rh/rh-git29/root/bin/git'

predrag at lake$ git lfs install
Git LFS initialized.

Cheers,
Predrag
