Package Manager fails to download LFS files from Git repository when the Git URL contains a path extension

Packman

-

How to reproduce:
1. Make sure that Git and Git LFS are installed
2. Open the attached "1256330 repro" project
3. Open the Packages > lfs_test > Editor folder

Expected result: the "NewImage.png" Asset is downloaded
Actual result: the "NewImage.png" Asset isn't downloaded and it only contains the metadata about the file

Reproducible with: 2019.4.4f1, 2020.1.0b16, 2020.2.0a18
Could not test with: 2018.4.24f1 (no support for Git URLs)

Notes:
-Changing the Git URL ending from "My_LFS_Package2.git?path=/Case2" to "My_LFS_Package.git" solves the issue and the LFS files are downloaded successfully

    I ran in to this issue in Unity 6 as well. Copying the .gitattributes also worked for me but I also had to remove macro attributes (`[attr]` lines) from the file. See this Unity Discussions post for more info (from me and others): https://discussions.unity.com/t/package-from-git-url-shows-lfs-pointer-file-instead-of-actual-content/813930/16

    I encountered this issue today on unity 6000.0.19f1. The same solution of putting the .gitattributes next to package.json worked for me.

    I encountered this issue today in Version 2021.3.16f1.
    I fixed it by putting my .gitattributes file next to the package.json file. Apparently the package manager only pulls from lfs if the .gitattributes file is present

    Yup I just hit this issue in 2020.3.14, hadn't tried 2020.3.16 yet ^ but saw that comment above, saves me from bothering to try.
