fix docs
"git -a annex.largefiles=* add" cannot be used.. git does not pass the config along to the smudge filter, sadly.

The behavior of some commands changes in an upgraded repository:
* `git add` will add files to the annex, in unlocked mode, rather than
- adding them directly to the git repository. To bypass that and add a file
- directly to git, use:
-
- git -c annex.largefiles='exclude=*' add myfile
+ adding them directly to the git repository. To cause some files to be
+ added directly to git, you can configure `annex.largefiles`. For
+ example:
+
+ git config annex.largefiles "largerthan=100kb and not (include=*.c or include=*.h)"
* `git annex unlock` and `git annex lock` change how the pointer to
the annexed content is stored in git.
