[pkg-go] Bug#901963: Bug#901963: git-lfs: "git lfs help" doesn't work

[Stephen Gelman]

I confirmed that this is a bug with the debian package (also exists in upstream’s debian package).  “git lfs help” should work and does with upstream’s binaries.  A bug happened to have been recently filed upstream at https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/3043 <https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/3043>.  I am investigating this.
