Description
In a persistent action runner where the repo isn't recreated every time, if custom hooks are used, the checkout action with lfs: true fails because git lfs install --local errors due to not wanting to overwrite the custom hooks.
Possible fixes that come to mind are an option to skip git lfs install or having the option to not install hooks via running git lfs install --local --manual instead.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the checkout action with lfs: true, custom hooks, and a persistent action runner. Inspect the Git LFS installation step and compare the proposed skip-install and manual-hook approaches; done means LFS checkout works without overwriting existing custom hooks.
