This release is a feature release which includes support for
machine-readable formats for a couple more commands, plus the ability
to automatically merge LFS-based text files from the command-line.
This release is a major new release and introduces several new features,
such as a pure SSH-based protocol, Git-compatible pattern matching, and
locking multiple files on the command line, among other items.
Backwards-incompatible changes:
NTLM support has been completely removed
When using an SSH URL (that is, the syntax starting with ssh://),
the leading slash is not stripped off when invoking git-lfs-authenticate or
git-lfs-transfer.
git lfs fsck now additionally checks that pointers are canonical and that files
that are supposed to be LFS files actually are. It also exits nonzero if any
problem is found.
Pattern matching should be stricter and should either match the behavior of
.gitattributes or .gitignore, as appropriate. Deviations from Git's behavior
will henceforth be treated as bugs and fixed accordingly.
Git LFS will now write a Git LFS repository format version into the repository.
This is designed to allow future extension with incompatible changes.
Repositories without this version will be assumed to be version 0. Note that
this is different from, but modeled on, Git's repository format version.
git lfs lock and git lfs unlock now handle multiple pathname arguments and the
JSON format has changed to handle multiple responses.
The Go package name now contains a version number. This should have no effect
on users because we don't provide a stable Go ABI.
2.13 introduces several new features, such as the --above option to
git lfs migrate import and support for socks5h proxies. In addition, many
bugs have been fixed and several miscellaneous fixes have been included.

config: optionally read .lfsconfig from the repository
