`cargo fix` does not understand git LFS

[stephanemagnenat]

Problem

I have a repository with several binary files in my git tree using git LFS. When I type cargo fix, cargo says that there are uncommited changes and lists all the files in git LFS as dirty.

Steps

1. Create a Rust create and put it in git.
2. Enable git LFS and add some files to it.
3. Try cargo fix and observe the problem.

Possible Solution(s)

I guess that cargo should understand git LFS.

Sorry, I had a hard time understanding the problem here. You've added some git lfs files, so git working tree was dirty, and that was why it reported uncommitted changes. That seems to be expected, and could use --allow-dirty/--allow-staged flags to bypass such check.

Anything I am misunderstanding, or is it possible to provide MRE?

According to rust-lang/rust-clippy#8349 it's incorrectly detecting the files as dirty, but I've not tested it myself
