### Please describe the problem. annex add seems to ignore content under directories having . prefix. We thought to unify (across direct/indirect/v6) adding files to annex repository by using 'git annex add' with corresponding setting for largefiles for any addition, but it seems to ignore content under .-prefixed directories, unlike git ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 6.20161122+gitg9f179ae-1~ndall+1 ### Please provide any additional information below.
