### Please describe the problem. Even if -c annex.largefiles=nothing is used with git add, then git commit commits file into annex. This script demonstrates initial finding: http://www.onerussian.com/tmp/ga.sh Even if we use -c annex.largefiles=nothing with both add and commit, subsequent git status migrates that file into annex (which is even more weird) Adjusted script demonstrates it: http://www.onerussian.com/tmp/ga-2.sh ### What steps will reproduce the problem? see above ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 6.20170101+gitg93d69b1-1~ndall+1 ### Please provide any additional information below.
