+* `--include-dotfiles`
+
+  Dotfiles are skipped unless explicitly listed, or unless this option is
+  used.
+
+* `--force`
+
+  Add gitignored files.
+
+* `--backend`
+
+  Specifies which key-value backend to use.
+
+* file matching options
+
+  Many of the [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
+  can be used to specify files to add.
+
+  For example: `--largerthan=1GB`
