### Please describe the problem.

Joey, it looks like the git version wasn't updated with the latest release as is still too old to respect .gitignore files.  I'm hoping that I haven't just made a silly mistake but I don't think I have...

See http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Mac_OS_git_version_too_old_to_honour_.gitignore/ for bug that was closed.

### What steps will reproduce the problem?

Install git-annex 5.20140209-g3a61dbe and try to use .gitignore file to exclude items from git annex.

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

5.20140209-g3a61dbe on Mac OS 10.9.1.
