Motivation:
Swift Package Manager currently lacks native support for Git Large File Storage (LFS), which limits its usability in projects that rely on large binary assets or versioned media files. This change aims to improve compatibility with repositories using Git LFS, enabling smoother dependency resolution and package integration.
Modifications:
Integrated Git LFS handling into the package resolution workflow.
Ensured LFS-tracked files are properly fetched and available during package checkout.
Added tests to validate LFS file presence and integrity.
Result:
SwiftPM can now correctly handle packages that use Git LFS, improving support for a broader range of repositories and workflows involving large assets.
