first, i realize this is almost entirely a fedora packaging issue
and i'm planning on reporting it there, but i just want to make sure
i'm not doing something stupid.
knowing nothing about the git-lfs package, i thought i would install
it and just poke around out of sheer curiosity, so on my fully-updated
fedora 28 system, i ran:
$ sudo dnf install git-lfs
which did in fact install that package, but also generated (abridged
version):
... snip ...
Running transaction
Preparing :
Installing : git-lfs-2.4.0-1.fc28.x86_64
Running scriptlet: git-lfs-2.4.0-1.fc28.x86_64
Error: Failed to call git rev-parse --git-dir --show-toplevel: "fatal:

Git LFS initialized.

is one supposed to be *in* a git repository when installing, because i
was in fact at the top level of my linux kernel source repo, so i'm
unclear on what that "Error" is trying to tell me. am i just being
clueless? is this something that i should submit as a fedora packaging
issue?
