      When using the embedded version of git in SourceTree, git-lfs is not available either from the git bash terminal or for Custom Actions. If I try to run "git lfs", either get "WARNING: You called a Git command named 'lfs', which does not exist." or "git: 'lfs' is not a git command.".

      I am using the SourceTree 2.0.19.1. Under Tools > Options > Git > Git Version, I have "Embedded Git version 2.11.0 + git-lfs v1.5.6"

      Git-lfs still works for SourceTree – I am able to properly download files tracked by git-lfs. But I am unable to call the command from the terminal or Custom Action (for example, to call "git lfs track [one_specific_file]".

      I know that this worked fine around a year ago, but have no more knowledge about when it stopped working.

      I have been able to confirm with other members of my team that this same problem happens with them.

      As a work-around, I am currently instruction my team to download and install git-lfs from https://git-lfs.github.com/. With that installed, which puts a version of git-lfs in the path, it works fine.
