clone fails with "smudge filter lfs failed (...) HTTP_1_1_REQUIRED"

Question

I'm trying to clone a git repo from my corp locally-hosted TFS/devops. However, I get failure: batch response: Post (...) HTTP_1_1_REQUIRED

I saw recommendation to skip smudge by running git lfs install --skip-smudge or setting GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1, but then the lfs-provided binaries don't get pulled and I get compile errors.

Solution - Before clone, run: git config --global --replace-all http.version HTTP/1.1

Ref, from the git-lfs developer which added the http.version option: https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/3875#issuecomment-607260728
