Renaming an existing package can cause problems if anyone else has started 
using or depending on it. You can deprecate the existing name of the 
package by adding an upper Julia version number bound on all existing tags 
of the package in METADATA, so it will no longer be installable once newer 
versions of Julia are released. Then register the new name as a new 
package, using a separate repository for development.

hub might also be to blame here? Though I'm pretty sure we have other hub 
users around who might've noticed this earlier

[Stefan Karpinski]

You can try moving the .git/hooks directory aside to disable all git hooks,
including the LFS ones.

Re: [julia-users] Re: changing the package name

[Changhyun Kwon]

That’s pretty interesting. I’m actually surprised to find out what LFS is… No, 
I didn’t enable anything… I believe…

My github account is “Micro”, individual. I have once installed `hub` from 
github, but nothing else. I want to blame homebrew-cask’s Julia, but not even 
sure with that…

[Tony Kelman]

Git LFS is https://git-lfs.github.com/ - you didn't enable anything? What 
kind of github account do you have? I wonder if you may have installed some 
git extension, or if homebrew-cask's version of Julia is using its own 
customized git rather than the bundled one?

[julia-users] Re: changing the package name

[Chang Kwon]

"VariationalInequality.jl" is a new name. 

When I did Pkg.publish(), I obtained this error:

This repository is configured for Git LFS but 'git-lfs' was not found on 
your path. If you no longer wish to use Git LFS, remove this hook by 
deleting .git/hooks/pre-push.

As suggested, after removing .git/hooks/pre-push, I retried Pkg.publish(), 
and it went well. I don't know what Git LFS is.

You could first uninstall the package, then rename on Github and then clone 
from the new address.

Cheers,
