I just gave this feature a try, but it seems it doesn't work as expected or maybe I don't understand it:

    ~/annex/largefilestest % git init
    ~/annex/largefilestest (git)-[master] % git annex init \"test repo\"
    ~/annex/largefilestest (git)-[master] % git config annex.largefiles \"not include=*.txt\"

Now I copy two files to this directory and add both to the annex

    ~/annex/largefilestest (git)-[master] % ll
    total 100
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 tobru tobru 93709 Oct 19 16:14 dpkg-get-selections.txt
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 tobru tobru  7256 Jan  6 15:52 x3400.jpg
    ~/annex/largefilestest (git)-[master] % git annex add .
    add x3400.jpg (checksum...) ok
    (Recording state in git...)
    ~/annex/largefilestest (git)-[master] % git status
    # On branch master
    #
    # Initial commit
    #
    # Changes to be committed:
    #   (use \"git rm --cached <file>...\" to unstage)
    #
    #       new file:   x3400.jpg
    #
    # Untracked files:
    #   (use \"git add <file>...\" to include in what will be committed)
    #
    #       dpkg-get-selections.txt
    ~/annex/largefilestest (git)-[master] % ll
    total 96
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 tobru tobru 93709 Oct 19 16:14 dpkg-get-selections.txt
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 tobru tobru   192 Jan  6 15:52 x3400.jpg -> .git/annex/objects/vf/QX/SHA256E-s7256--60e5b69ade5619e37f7fcaa964626da9c415959d861241aa13e2516fffc2dddf.jpg/SHA256E-s7256--60e5b69ade5619e37f7fcaa964626da9c415959d861241aa13e2516fffc2dddf.jpg

So the picture is added to the annex as expected. But the .txt file is not added to git. Do I have to manually add this to git? And why is the picture seen as new file by git?

The second question could be answered by: \"run git annex sync\". Is this correct? Because after running this command, git does not see this file as a new file anymore:

    ~/annex/largefilestest (git)-[master] % git annex sync
    commit  
    [master (root-commit) a0afb14] git-annex automatic sync
     1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
     create mode 120000 x3400.jpg
    ok
    git-annex: no branch is checked out
    ~/annex/largefilestest (git)-[master] % git status
    # On branch master
    # Untracked files:
    #   (use \"git add <file>...\" to include in what will be committed)
    #
    #       dpkg-get-selections.txt
    nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use \"git add\" to track)
