Smudge filter lfs failed when cloning Visual Studio Online Git repository

I'm trying to use git-lfs with a Visual Studio Online Git repository to store code alongside some large CSV data files.

I downloaded the git-lfs installer, restarted git-bash, ran git lfs install, cloned an empty repo, and ran git lfs track "*.csv". Then I committed code and CSV files, and ran git push origin master. I got this warning:

Remote "origin" does not support the LFS locking API. Consider disabling it with:
  $ git config 'lfs.https://company.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/ProjectName/_git/reponame.git/info/lfs.locksverify' false
Git LFS: (0 of 0 files, 135 skipped) 0 B / 0 B, 3.75 GB skipped                
Counting objects: 261, done.

Then I tried to clone the repo to a fresh directory, to see if it's working. I get these errors:

Downloading data/data.csv (738.83 MB)
Error downloading object: data/data.csv(**********************************************47505bb25a3e2a552e)

error: external filter git-lfs smudge -- %f failed 2
error: external filter git-lfs smudge -- %f failed
fatal: data/data.csv: smudge filter lfs failed
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.

What am I doing wrong? How do I get git-lfs to work with a VSO Git repository?

Please check with below steps:

1.Check if .gitattributes are also version controlled by git. And if it has the content:

*.csv filter=lfs diff=lfs merge=lfs –text

2.Use the command 

git config 'lfs.https://company.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/ProjectName/_git/reponame.git/info/lfs.locksverify' false

and double check by git config-l, and also check if git config contains:

filter.lfs.clean=git-lfs clean -- %f
filter.lfs.smudge=git-lfs smudge -- %f
filter.lfs.required=true
filter.lfs.process=git-lfs filter-process
  1. Commit some changes and push again, you will find there is no such warnings. And clone again.
