DetailsSummary and Info:
User's ~/.gitconfig affects the package build process when git sources are present. In some cases makepkg might fail because of user's incompatible git configuration. This becomes a problem when PKGBUILD has git-lfs repos as sources and user has installed git-lfs filters in their ~/.gitconfig, see [1]. Makepkg should instead work independently of user's git configuration. Tested with pacman 6.0.1-2. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build the following PKGBUILD, which should work just fine. ``` pkgname=example pkgver=1 pkgrel=1 arch=('any') source=("git+https://github.com/makehumancommunity/makehuman-assets.git") md5sums=('SKIP') ``` 2. Install git-lfs and run `git lfs install` in your home directory to put git-lfs filters in your ~/.gitconfig. 3. Try building the package again with `makepkg -fcC`. This time makepkg fails to checkout the git repo because of git-lfs filters. Output is provided at the end of the report. (git-lfs filters can be removed with `git lfs uninstall`) Solution: Git provides environment variables GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL and GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM to set the location of configuration files. Setting these to /dev/null causes git to use the default configuration which resolves the issue. See man page git(1) for details.

"Fixing" this in makepkg is essentially a hack IMHO.
