`git annex init` does handle autoenable. When you bypass explicit init,
it does not do autoenabling.

This is not a change AFAICS. The changelog entry for autoenable
says that it's done by `git annex init`. Presumably your test suite
does run `git annex init`.

My original notes on why not to have automaitic init handle autoenable were:
