[squeak-dev] Squeak in FreeBSD

It might be useful tho have the FreeBSD version:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD ottopedi 12.1-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p2 GENERIC  amd64

The git version is:
$ git --version
git version 2.25.2

As I read some posts about git and the smudge filter, indicating there have
been problems with the filter and  git-lfs (for downloading large files
from git-repository?),
I installed that too, It did not help anyway.
$ git-lfs --version
git-lfs/2.10.0 (GitHub; freebsd amd64; go 1.14.1)

Kind regards,

Edwin Ancaer
