Bumping as this issue is still relevant on:

netlify lm:info
  ✔ Checking Git version [2.25.1]
  ✔ Checking Git LFS version [2.9.2]
  ✔ Checking Git LFS filters
  ✔ Checking Netlify's Git Credentials version [0.1.10]

The error shows up as:

git lfs pull
panic: runtime error: slice bounds out of range [:6] with length 0

This is a deal breaker for cloning on remote servers; the workaround is to copy your local config.json to that remove server via scp etc, and is arguably not sustainable.

Echoing this sentiment. I have encountered this error, and it has removed the viability of LMS for my team.

Still no fix for this?
