### Please describe the problem. As described [elsewhere](http://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/make_addurl_respect_annex.largefiles_option/#comment-817c4d5c215ddc0ec7bc5c4c05dff091) but since that one is closed -- making a dedicated one unfortunately addurl doesn't care about large files if --fast (or --relaxed, although that one I guess I can understand ): [[!format sh """ $ chmod a+w -R /tmp/123; rm -rf /tmp/123; mkdir /tmp/123; cd /tmp/123; git init; git annex init; Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/123/.git/ init ok (recording state in git...) $ git -c annex.largefiles=exclude=*.txt annex addurl --file=test.txt --fast \"http://www.onerussian.com/tmp/banner.png\" addurl test.txt ok (recording state in git...) $ ls -l test.txt lrwxrwxrwx 1 yoh yoh 132 Jan 13 18:44 test.txt -> .git/annex/objects/KW/kj/URL-s25319--http&c%%www.onerussian.com%tmp%banner.png/URL-s25319--http&c%%www.onerussian.com%tmp%banner.png """]] it does consider largefiles for if addurl without --fast, or --relaxed [[!meta author=yoh]] > [[done]]; this can't really be done, but I added `git annex > matchexpression` to allow scripting that checks expressions such as > annex.largefiles. --[[Joey]]
