Description
Using this action with lfs: true and I create a PR which modifies some images used for snapshot tests, subsequent runs on the same CI machine with different branches that didn't even touch those files will often fail because the image file is not loaded properly. Any suggestions for how to fix this or why this is happening?

Research direction
Start with the checkout action's behavior when lfs: true, then reproduce the sequence using one branch that modifies snapshot-test images followed by other branches on the same CI machine. A useful result would identify why files are not loaded correctly across runs and document a verified fix or workaround.
