Issue Description:
The error is in the format of: (XXXXX being the name of LFS-tracked file)
Error downloading object: XXXXX (hash): Smudge error: Error downloading XXXXX (hash): batch request: missing protocol: "/path/to/project/.build/repositories/dependency.git/info/lfs"
error: external filter 'git-lfs filter-process' failed
fatal: XXXXX: smudge filter lfs failed
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'
This happens during the “cloneCheckout” phase i.e. invoking “git clone --shared”. If I disable the LFS filter by editing the global .gitconfig, the project builds fine.

Is there any update to this?
The workaround from @briancordanyoung seem to work, but the Xcode path has changed
One option for this I wrote up here (which only applies if the LFS files are something optional for your package, like test results): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67457594/swift-package-manager-does-not-work-with-git-lfs/77336212#77336212

Not sure if it helps you, but I believe the .lfsconfig file has to be present on the repo’s default branch. When SPM clones the package it starts with the default branch and then checks out whichever branch/commit you requested.
This did ultimately end up working well enough for me, I was able to use
xcodebuildin CI (but not the Xcode app): https://github.com/foxglove/MCAPSpotlightImporter/actions/runs/3380647041/jobs/5613664270However, the .lfsconfig file is causing some other issues for developers working with the repo… 😓
Thanks, this helps!
