Issue: actions/checkout@v2 with lfs: true doesn't get file

[davetapley]

I will fill this out more later but wanted to get a placeholder in, apologies.

I have

      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          lfs: true

When pushing to GitHub and running on Actions it gets file:

-rw-r--r--  1 runner docker 185M Mar 14 21:27 dependencies.tar

But when running with act it doesn't get the file (and so tar fails):

| -rw-rw-rw-  1 1000 root  134 Aug 24  2021 dependencies.tar

Known issue?

I tried ⤵️

      - name: Check out LFS objects
        run: GIT_TRACE=1 git lfs fetch -I dependencies.tar

And it hangs here ⤵️

So I'm guessing credentials aren't available to LFS, as discussed on https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/4060. If so them will make repro awkward, as it might need a private repo?

Is that workflow from a private repo?

@catthehacker yep
