Hi,

[ sorry for the wrong bugreport in the last version of this entry ]

It seems as if I can only add my own file to the annex, even if I have group write permissions.  Is that correct?  Can that be circumvented other than copying/deleting the large file?

Here is some demonstration:

    > git init
    > git config user.name dtr
    > git config user.email dtrn@dtrn.com
    
    > dd if/dev/zero of=test2.bin count=1000
    
    > ll
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 dtr dtr 512000 Sep 16  2013 test2.bin
    
    > sudo chown someone test2.bin
    > ll
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 someone dtr 512000 Sep 16  2013 test2.bin
    
    > git annex init
    > git annex add test2.bin
    add test2.bin (checksum...)
