Git lfs ignores lfs url and doesn't push or upload to lfs server

[Moult]

Steps:

1. Set up lfs-test-server on http://mywebsite.com:9999 and run the lfs-test-server binary
2. Verify lfs-test-server works by checking out the /mgmt, logging in, and adding in a user
3. On my local, mkdir foo && cd foo && git init
4. On my local, git lfs install && git lfs track "*.png" && cp /some/file.png . && git add file.png && git commit
5. Add the line below to my "foo" repo's .gitconfig, .git/config, .lfsconfig. The line is what is suggested by the /mgmt page.

[lfs]
    url = "http://mywebsite.com:9999/"

6. Verify that pngs are tracked by checking git lfs ls-files and the contents of .gitattributes which all look good.
7. Still on local, in some other directory, do git clone /path/to/foo myfooclone
8. Back in foo repo, do git remote add origin /path/to/myfooclone
9. In foo repo, do git push origin master.

At this step, I expect it to push the commits to myfooclone, but upload LFS objects to the lfs.url. Instead, I just get a regular push as if git lfs wasn't doing anything. No errors, no activity on the git lfs server logs, no requests for authentication.

Ideas?

I should note that it works completely fine if my remote is something like [email protected]:bar.git, but I would intuitively expect that pushing to any "remote", even if the "remote" is on my own local HD, would trigger the LFS upload?

Hey, thanks for writing in.

Can you run the git push origin master with GIT_TRACE=1 GIT_TRANSFER_TRACE=1 GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 so we can see what the push looks like?
