Description:

Arch's packaged version of `git-lfs` appears to be missing internal documentation for its help/--help command/option. (The official binaries on github don't have this issue.)

The error message is: 'Sorry, no usage text found for "git-lfs"'

The only cases where the documentation is available are when `git-lfs` opens a manpage. For example:

Primary command:

git-lfs help => fails
git-lfs --help => fails
git lfs help => fails
git help lfs => *works*
git lfs --help => *works*

Subcommands:

git-lfs ls-files --help => fails
git-lfs help ls-files => fails
git lfs ls-files --help => fails
git lfs help ls-files fails
man git-lfs-ls-files works
This task depends upon

The git-lfs team helped track this down -- apparently the debian package had the same issue back in June. You need to run "go generate ./commands" before building.

I've attached a diff which fixes the PKGBUILD for me.
