I guess my ignorance was in the fact that shell removes those 's if the argument itself is not wrapped: $> /tmp/1.py git annex add -c annex.largefiles='exclude=*.txt' README2.txt arg: '/tmp/1.py' arg: 'git' arg: 'annex' arg: 'add' arg: '-c' arg: 'annex.largefiles=exclude=*.txt' arg: 'README2.txt' Consider it resolve for nowbeing ;) Cheers """]]
