+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I tried to create an annex (``git annex init foo``) inside a ``encfs`` mount, and git-annex says that it's crippled, and disables core.symlinks and goes into direct mode
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+    apt-get install encfs
+    encfs -o kernel_cache empty_dir other_empty_dir
+    cd other_empty_dir
+    git init
+    git annex init foo
+
+### Expected results
+
+    init foo ok
+    (Recording state in git...)
+
+### Actual results
+
+    init foo 
+      Detected a crippled filesystem.
+
+      Disabling core.symlinks.
+
+      Enabling direct mode.
+    ok
+    (Recording state in git...)
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+4.20130601 on debian unstable
+
+
+### P.S.
+
+This was particularly annoying when I tried this on a bare repository. I'm pretty sure bare repositories don't need symlinks, and should definitely not be in direct mode. Hopefully you can fix it before I have time to file another bug report :)
+
+Thank you!
