v1.4.2 brings a number of bug fixes and usability improvements to LFS. This
release also adds support for multiple retries within the transfer queue, making
transfers much more reliable. To enable this feature, see the documentation for
lfs.transfer.maxretries in git-lfs-config(5).
We'd also like to extend a special thank-you to @sschuberth who undertook the
process of making LFS's test run on Windows through AppVeyor. Now all pull
requests run tests on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
