This is an entirely reasonable way to go about it.
However, doing it this way causes files in B to always \"win\" -- If the same filename is in both repositories, with differing content, the version added in B will superscede the version from A. If A has a file that is not in B, a git commit -a in B will commit a deletion of that file.
I might do it your way and look at the changes in B before (or even after) committing them to see if files from A were deleted or changed.
Or, I might just instead keep B in a separate subdirectory in the repository, set up like so:
<pre>
mv b old_b
git clone a b
cd b
mv ../old_b .
git annex add old_b --exclude --not '*.avi'
</pre>
Or, a third way would be to commit A to a branch like branchA and B to a separate branchB, and not merge the branches at all.
