### Please describe the problem.

When creating a new git-annex repository (or upgrading, or doing fsck) inside a CryFS container (FUSE-based encrypted local filesystem, similiar to EncFS), git-annex goes into direct(or adjusted, in v6) mode despite CryFS working just fine with symlinks.

Indeed, a created-outside-cryfs git-annex repository works as expected when copied inside

### What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.) Install cryfs (https://www.cryfs.org/, packaged for ubuntu,debian, or build from source)
2.) Create a CryFS container: $ cryfs container container-data
3.) Create a git annex repository inside the container:

$ cd container
$ git init .
$ git annex init --version 6


### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
git-annex-6.20170519-1.fc26.x86_64

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

I love git-annex.
