git-lfs stopped working with msys2-runtime-3.5.4 update

[c00ldchan]

Description / Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Install msys2-runtime-3.5.4-1 or newer
2. Install git and mingw-w64-x86_64-git-lfs
3. Try pulling any LFS repo via ssh

Expected behavior

Files managed by git-lfs are downloaded

Actual behavior

git-lfs hangs at the git-lfs-authenticate step, which involves reading ssh output. With GIT_TRACE=1 it hangs after printing this line:
exec: ssh 'git@github.com' 'git-lfs-authenticate username/repository.git download'

Downgrading to msys2-runtime-3.5.3-5 or manually replacing msys2-runtime.dll with the one from v3.5.3-5 resolves the issue.

I thought git was broken for all MSYS?
At least that's what people say, and why they install git for windows.

If this is not true, please let us all know, and update all the recent stack-overflows stating otherwise.

I met the same issue.

I'm also running into this when trying to pull a repo with some updated LFS files. Adding GIT_TRACE=1 before git pull and I can see that it's getting stuck on: git-lfs-transfer download

@eabase I've exclusively been using git on MSYS for 5+ years w/o issues, including LFS, so it's definitely been working previously!
