Git-lfs: git lfs is not tracking files that meet specification

[abrownIS]

Hi,

git lfs isn't tracking files that meet my specification.

I followed these instructions to the letter: [https://git-lfs.github.com/]

Here's my command output... note the lack of output on the final line.

After the initial failure documented below, I tried the git lfs migrate command suggested in another issue. I got the same warning on a git push after I removed and re-added the file.

user@user MINGW64 ~/repos/repo1 (master)
$ git lfs install

Solved. For some reason, .gitattributes was getting lost on the commit. I removed the large file, committed .gitattributes on its own, then re-added and committed the large file. No warning this time on the git push.
