Arch Linux

Summary 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.
