Git LFS: Smudge error: Error downloading jar : LFS: Client error

I am having some trouble using git lfs to pull down code from git origin. We have git-lfs integrated into our repository, and when we issue a git pull command, git-lfs is used to pull down jar files that we have in our repository source control. I am now trying to pull down a branch, which has jar changes in it, and I am receiving the error below:

Error downloading object: ourRepo/ourRepo/Jars/ourJar.jar (8b200ef): Smudge error: Error downloading ourRepo/ourRepo/Jars/ourJar.jar (8b200efda95c6d6f2672dc23b5aae0abb9e60b303705c9f65b785ef9d80691d1): LFS: Client error: https://api.media.atlassian.com/file/2897df4a-ce54-4e69-9817-910758ed6355/binary

Has anyone encountered this issue, and what was the solution?

I ultimately found my answer from this github issues link: https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/1720

My specific situation was trying to switch to a different branch with git checkout, which would then automatically try to do a git pull on the branch, and fail to pull since there was an issue upstream with a java jarfile committed with git-lfs.

The final solution was to run git lfs install --skip-smudge then do git checkout. Note that after running with the --skip-smudge flag, you'll have to manually git lfs pull to get the latest jar files.
