Hi guys!

*sigh*

Currently I am pulling my hair, maybe anybody here can clear things up a bit. I tried to setup a brand new mixed content repo with git-annex but it bluntly ignores my .gitattributes and annexes everything. When I set largefiles in config everything is fine and restrictions are applied right, in .gitattributes even a \"* annex.largefiles=nothing\" has no effect. All attributes show up right with git check-attr, I double checked. :-/ Same thing with a newly initialized minimal example repo. 

I tried git-annex as distributed by openSUSE and the current stand-alone-package (in case it's a distribution bug), too. So no clues here, too.

Output of git annex version:

Any ideas? After trying around for hours I am somewhat flabberghasted. Did I miss some config- or buildoption to enable support for .gitattributes? 

Kind regards
