-You have successfully passed the literal value `'exclude=*.txt'` to
-git-annex as the annex.largefiles setting.
-
-Now, git-annex has to parse that value to understand what files you intend
-it to treat as large.
-
-Since its preferred content expression parser for the value has no
-concept of quoting characters, it fails as shown.
-
-There's no magic here, just you providing a value to git-annex that it does
-not understand.
-
-Were you trying to accomplish anything in particular with `'exclude=*.txt'`
-that is different from the behavior with `exclude=*.txt`?
-
-(Eg, perhaps you're really trying to exclude a filename with a space in it,
-like `*.brain scan` and that seems to call for some form of quoting. Adding
-quoting support into git-annex's preferred content expressions would
-complicate the parser a lot though. So, in that case, I'd suggest the
-workaround of using `*.brain?scan`)
