I have a Gitea contianer deployed in kubernetes and I am using PostgreSQL as the database.

When I try to migrate a Hugging Face repo I get the following error:

Migrating from [insilicomedicine/nach0\_large · Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/insilicomedicine/nach0_large) failed.

StoreMissingLfsObjectsInRepository: “ref.name” is not allowed to be empty

I can migrate GitHub repos that conains LFS files without any issues.

Here are the pod logs:
