It uses that source's own `lfsPointerScan` result to decide what to report. Git LFS (Git Large File Storage) is a git add-on that keeps big files outside the repository and leaves small placeholder \"pointer\" files in their place.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn practice, sources that were not cloned no longer produce this warning."}
