This commit adds a try/catch in the
datasets_download.pyscript around thegit lfs prune -f --recentcall to re-run the command without the-fswitch. While users can specify--no-prunein the data loader command, that workaround should not be necessary.Motivation and Context
Some common git-lfs versions (e.g., 2.9.2 which Ubuntu 20.04 runs) do not support the -f flag on
git lfs prune. This change wraps thegit lfs prune -f --recentcall in a try/catch for compatibility and a simpler user experience. Issue #2172 asks about this.How Has This Been Tested
I tested loading a dataset using git-lfs version 2.9.2, which previously broke due to the assumed
-fswitch. I used the command:python -m habitat_sim.utils.datasets_download --uids rearrange_task_assets --data-path dataTypes of changes
