Briefly checked the tenderapp thread. Can be related to the settings priorities.

Source is: https://rhodecode.tenderapp.com/help/discussions/problems/9447-rc-371-issue-with-lf-for-one-repo

Reproduce the issue¶

Description from the user¶

• I've disabled the LF in the global settings "Admin / Settings / VCS".
• I've nothing configured regarding LF in the .hgrc.
• I've created a new repo with LF enabled in "Options / Settings / VCS"
• When I push a repo with LF on it, I face:

abort: https://server.gemalto.com/hg/toto/ess/repo does not appear to be a largefile store

Local reproduction¶

• [X] Start with an empty database
• [X] Disable largefiles
• [X] Add a repo
• [X] enable largefiles for the repo
• [X] Push largefiles into the repo

Creating an empty system¶

paster setup-rhodecode dev-empty.ini --user=admin \
    --email=admin@example.com --password=secret --repos=$HOME/tmp/repos-empty

Conclusion¶

• Version 3.7.1 is not fit regarding the largefiles setting, we should encourage users to upgrate to 3.8.0 which got a log of improvements in largefiles to make the user experience better.
• No follow up needed, since we have this fixed and I think that we have this even covered in our ac-tests.
