+### Please describe the problem.
+
+Git annex assistant ignores .gitignore file due to packaged git version being too old.
+
+I have a locally installed version that is greater than the 1.8.4 needed to respect .gitignore but git annex doesn't use it.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+- Create local repository using webapp
+- Add .gitignore file to local repository
+- Add files that match .gitignore patterns and watch git annex add them
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+Git Annex assistant version 5.20140128-g0ac94c3 on Mac OS 10.9.1
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+
+Log message is "The installed version of git is too old for .gitignores to be honored by git-annex."
