An observation.. the git-lfs-linux-amd64-v3.5.0.tar.gz version is dynamically linked and so won't run on alpine:latest (for example) as-is:

# file git-lfs-3.5.0-pre/git-lfs
git-lfs-3.5.0-pre/git-lfs: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, Go BuildID=6yUzwT69nb_yIpT5QFo4/VcpRhuJbxc4HZktYqqGk/W2nxHh0SJPuvdjp-gCA3/y6FidpeezUj6Btuh9PQs, stripped

vs. 3.4.1:

# file git-lfs-3.4.1/git-lfs
git-lfs-3.4.1/git-lfs: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, Go BuildID=vME7dbHSShz0q15IUGMe/UuIpeLL6H1YxP2LAOG4Z/FpibnEC8r9

git-lfs-linux-amd64-v3.5.0.tar.gz tests nicely against gitlab.com as confirmed via https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/git-test/-/jobs/6273154997 🙂👍

I can also confirm that git-lfs-darwin-amd64-v3.5.0-pre.zip works nicely and resolves blocking errors when the server is using the pure SSH-based protocol! 🎉

That's because the v3.5.0-pre binaries are built on my system without CGO_ENABLED=0, whereas CI sets that flag (I just run make release). That's expected, and the CI binaries can be used if you want a statically built binary.

Looks like our release failed due to #5662 and also due to Git for Windows 2.44 (which appears to be new in the Actions images today but was not present on Monday) lacking the msgfmt.exe binary, which makes our release builds (and also CI) fail.

Once we find a good solution to finding a new msgfmt binary, we'll try again with a v3.5.1.
