Weird CI behavior

There's a chance that some number of builds in the CI pipeline will fail for seemingly no reason (e.g., everything passes for a merge request, but fail once it's merged to master, even though no new changes were introduced). When you look at the CI output, no errors will show, but you may see something like:

Updating the repository: /builds/caitlin.ross/adis
    Use GIT repository type
    New revision of repository is: 9532a3224de3de2048ec5b227a68dd5b0cf11db1
    Gathering version information (one . per revision):
     
    There are modified or conflicting files in the repository
    Found 42 locally modified files

Ben is aware of it and said it has something to do with LFS, but sounds like it may be tricky to track down and fix, since it seems to happen at random. Until it's fixed, just press "Retry" at the top right of the pipeline page to rerun the parts that failed. The 2nd run should be good, though there's been one or two times where I had to click "Retry" twice before everything was fixed.
