*rubbing eyes* I checked out a git-lfs-using git repository on a machine which, unbeknowst to me, did not have git lfs installed. I then realized the lfs files were the placeholder stubs.

So I installed git lfs and did `git lfs install`. Now I have git lfs, but this checkout on disk has the lfs placeholder files. The repository is gig-sized and I'd rather not re-clone

How do I force git to correct the placeholder files to real files? Is this "git smudge something something"

EDIT: git lfs pull
